A total of 165 applications from 30 nations had arrived at the office of project leader Rolf Michl. “We intensively reviewed every single application and in a multi-step selection process selected the 18 drivers who now have the opportunity to prove themselves in the Audi Sport TT Cup,” says Michl.
The 18 that were chosen come from 13 nations and three continents. The average age is 21. The Finn Joonas Lappalainen, at the mere age of 17, is the youngest and Alexis van de Poele from Belgium, at only 25, the oldest driver in the field.
