Philip Ellis: decisive career step with Audi Sport

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Philip Ellis has won the 2017 #audisportttcup, so making a decisive step in his life. Following his beginnings in #racing, he interrupted his fast career to focus on his studies and only returned to the track with #audi. Thanks to a bonus of 150,000 euros for winning the #audisportttcup, he now has perfect prerequisites for continuing his career.

Congenial, quick, eloquent and tactically clever: #philipellis has many traits that make him cut out for motor #racing and its media environment. He entered the 2017 season as one of only two campaigners with a year of experience in the #audisportttcup under his belt and achieved an advantage early on. In Mikel Azcona, though, he soon had a strong rival. Both battled for the title up until the finale at Hockenheim. After five victories this season, Ellis crowned himself champion early – exactly five days after his 25th birthday.

“This has been the greatest success in my career to date,” he enthused. Born in Munich, Ellis grew up there until the age of six before moving to Switzerland. Today, he lives in Baar in the Swiss canton of Zug. His father hails from Wales, so #philipellis chose to have the British flag emblazoned on his 340-hp race car and his #racing suit. When asked whether he feels more like a Swiss, Briton or German, he prefers to answer: “I’m a European.”
