in ADAC GT MastersThe ADAC GT Masters stars this coming weekend at the Hockenheimring – a home race for Team Rosberg which is based approximately 30 kilometres west in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. Team Director Arno Zensen’s expectations are correspondingly high: "Our goal is clear: We want to finish on the podium again – and preferably in both races. The GT3 project with the new Audi R8 LMS was only finalised very late, which is why we still weren’t perfectly prepared for the season opener at Oschersleben,” says Zensen. "However, we scored a podium result at Assen. We want to carry on this trend at Hockenheim.” After having mastered three events in succession with the two Audi R8 LMS sportscars in the ADAC GT Masters and FIA GT3 European Championship, the Rosberg team had a little more time to prepare the cars following the race at Adria. "That was very important since GT racing is still new territory for us. In the past we did a great deal of formula car racing and more recently concentrated on the DTM with Audi. We are gaining more and more knowledge of the material which is new to us. I believe that GT racing has a great future. And it goes without saying that the Audi R8 is a fantastic car.” Team Rosberg’s hopes at Hockenheim rest specifically on the French-Portugal pairing of Nicolas Armindo/César Campanico. The two narrowly missed winning the first of the two races at Assen. "César raced for two years in Formula BMW for us. We’ve also known Nicolas for a long time. We had originally planned to compete in the Porsche Carrera Cup with him before the opportunity presented itself to move into GT racing with Audi,” says Arno Zensen. "They get on extremely well with each another and are a well-rehearsed team.” This coming weekend the gentleman driver Oliver Mayer and the Japanese Sakon Yamamoto, who contested his first Formula 1 race at the Hockenheimring in 2006, once again share the second Audi R8 LMS fielded by Team Rosberg. "He was very fast in single-seater racing, is however used to braking late,” says Zensen. "He has to still to adapt his driving style a little.” Both races at Hockenheim last for 60 minutes and include a driver change. Entry is free.
