Van der Linde to get a taste of the DTM: ADAC GT Masters driver to take part in Young Driver Test with Audi

Great opportunity for Kelvin van der Linde - the ADAC GT Masters driver and 2014 champion will get the chance to prove his skill this week in the cockpit of an RS5 DTM during Audi's Young Driver Test (28th November to 2nd December).

"Getting the call from Audi to be told that I was going testing was just amazing," said the South African. "I've driven the DTM taxi a couple of times, but that's something quite different. I'll have the full support of Audi engineers and mechanics for this test. I can hardly wait!"

Testing takes place at the Spanish Circuito de Jerez. Van der Linde: "I've never raced at the Jerez circuit before, so that obviously makes things a bit more challenging. Still, I'm a pro. I've been training a lot on my simulator at home - I think I'm ready."
