Abt Sportsline will continue its long-standing relationship with Audi in the DTM next year with backing from energy drinks giant Red Bull.
Despite Audi withdrawing factory backing from GT3 racing and reducing its involvement to basic supply of spare parts, Abt will continue to field a pair of R8 LMS GT3s in the German category in 2024. Abt had been pondering a potential switch to another Volkswagen Group brand Lamborghini, having already entered the Huracan GT3 in the Nurburgring 24 Hours.
The partnership also marks the return of Red Bull to the DTM, with the Austrian firm having withdrawn its AF Corse-run squad after Gerhard Berger sold the brands right of the series to the ADAC at the end of last season.
