Audi Sport TT Cup Race Car

This is Audi’s newest race series, the TT Cup — a primarily German-based series that allows those aged between 17 an 25 years old to compete in the 310 horsepower sports coupe (340 horsepower when the “push-to-pass” is engaged). While the engine and gearbox differ little compared to the 2016 TTS road car in which it’s based, the main changes arrive in the form of a whopping 800 lb. weight loss, racing suspension, racing brakes, slick tires, and a body kit that not only adds downforce but looks positively menacing.

But this isn’t just a series for youths. Each event, six guest slots open up — offering weekend seats for racing legends, sporting pros and, er, Yahoo Autos.

So yes, we took to the track at Oschersleben in Germany, just outside Berlin, and raced the youths (and legends) on their own soil. Read how it turned out here:
