• “Rocky” targets big break through with Audi

• Professional at 18, DTM racer at 23

• From tractor to Audi A4 DTM Mike Rockenfeller has just moved from Monte Carlo to Altnau on the Swiss side of Lake Constance. However, moving home is not the biggest change currently facing the 23-year old “star if tomorrow”: “Rocky”, as he is known by fans and friends, starts as new Audi factory driver this year in the DTM, Europe’s most popular touring car series – and takes centre stage for the first time ever during his still booming career.

Mike Rockenfeller could have forged a career at his former employer as well, however – just as team mate Lucas Luhr – he decided to switch to Audi. “Everything that Audi has ever tackled in motorsport during the last years was a success, ” knows the youngster, who is impressed by the Audi brand and its products. “Ground breaking technology, beautiful workmanship and a sporting, dynamic design, ” he says spontaneously. “I was like a child with a new toy at Christmas when I got the keys to my new RS4 company car. ”
