Rene RAST at the Lausitzring for the first time behind the wheel of an Audi FORMULA E

A good month before he showed what he knows and can do, Rast tested a new company car in Lausitzring - Audi's Formula E car.

Two-time DTM champion said after the test: "Different sound, open race car, Hello, different priorities and way of working. Everything is different than in DTM. I was very well received by the team. Lucas (di Grassi) he is a very open and experienced teacher and has received me nicely. At first, I even had fun in the race car, but soon after, we started testing seriously. I’m looking forward to the races in Berlin, although I know it won’t be easy.

Grow he tested for two days and did a total of 2294 kilometers in this year's current car. Most of the time he was by his side on the racetrack and in the pits of Grassi. Kidney he thus received enough information on how the car works after the preparations on the simulator and the theoretical starting points.

He also talked about his new teammate of Grassi: »He's nice. He is learning fast and I love helping him. In addition, I was also happy to be able to finally sit behind the wheel of a race car after a few months. We have six races ahead of us in Berlin and I want to be as ready as possible. So those two days were a real balm for me.
