The bang comes in the middle of the Corona crisis and hits motorsport with full force: Audi surprisingly gets out of the DTM at the end of 2020. Because only BMW remains as manufacturer in the toughest touring car championship in Europe after the Audi exit, the whole DTM now threatens to end!
–
The bang affects both Swiss DTM drivers directly. Vice champion Nico Müller (28) from Blumenstein BE and newcomer Fabio Scherer (20) from Engelberg OW both drive a 600 PS monster from Audi.

Müller has been with us since 2014 and says: «All drivers were informed at the same time. Of course it’s a shock. » The top DTM driver and his Victoria will also be parents for the first time in August. The Bernese remains positive. Müller is already driving in the booming Formula E. “I have not yet reached the zenith of my career and I am convinced that it will continue. I can drive anything that has four wheels. »

Scherer: Shock before the debut
The situation is more threatening for Fabio Scherer. The youngster was still driving Formula 3 in 2019 and is now realigning his career with the entry into the DTM. Now the Audi bang is coming before he could make his DTM debut! «I slept little after this shock news. It hurts a lot to have to accept a second hard setback after the Corona standstill, ”says Scherer, who trains a lot during the forced break and works in his father’s company in the office to distract himself.

Scherer knows: Finding a new cockpit for 2021 will be tough. «My future is now completely uncertain. Many experienced pilots will be on the market in 2021. Unfortunately, I was not able to show what I can do in the DTM. »
–
With his farewell to Formula 3, the ex-Sauber junior said goodbye to his Formula 1 dream. «As a boy, I had two goals: Formula 1 or DTM. But I’m still convinced that it was the right step, »says Scherer, who, like Müller, is now hoping for a quick end to the corona. The DTM calendar currently provides for ten races from mid-July – the Audi drivers will then compete for their careers.
