Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The Audi Sport TT Cup entertains the spectators once again: at the Nürburgring, #philipellis extended his table lead after crossing the finish line 0.267 seconds in front of the Spaniard Mikel Azcona.

Shortly before the start of the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, the junior drivers once again proved their fighting spirit in the Audi Sport TT Cup on Saturday. #philipellis, who started from pole position, built up a small lead in the first lap of the race. However, in the fourth lap, Mikel Azcona overtook the Briton at the chicane under braking. Only a few hundred meters further on, Ellis struck back, taking the lead again with an audacious maneuver. Two laps later, the Swiss Yannik Brandt and the Scotsman Finlay Hutchison came together in a battle for fifth place. Hutchison crashed into the barriers, triggering a safety car period. After the restart, Ellis celebrated his third victory of the season. Mikel Azcona and the Dutchman Milan Dontje, in second and third, stood on the podium for the first time in the Audi Sport TT Cup. While Ellis has stretched his advantage at the top of the standings from eight to 17 points, Gosia Rdest remains second on the table. The Pole took fourth place at the Nürburgring. Yannik Brandt finished in front of Drew Ridge as the best-placed rookie in fifth.
