Peter Fill presses the accelerator hard

From July 15th to 17th, the Audi Sport TT Cup, a racing series that serves as a springboard for a later professional career for many young racing drivers, will stop in the Dutch municipality of Zandvoort. Peter Fill is also there: the overall downhill winner from Castelrotto was invited by Audi International for the stage in the Netherlands together with the French skier Adrien Theaux and two international journalists.

Formula 1 flair “I definitely didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Especially because the flair of these races has many parallels to Formula 1. We drive an Audi TTS that has special tires, there are all buttons on the steering wheel, you sit alone in the car and a separate team takes care of the vehicle in the pits,” Fill is quoted on the Italian winter sports association website. A small selection of ski celebrities were present at this event last year. Marcel Hirscher stepped on the accelerator just as hard as Aksel Lund Svindal or Felix Neureuther.

Prestige duel with Adrien Theaux This year it hits Fill and Theaux: preparations for the experience have already begun. “We already got an introduction in Neuburg. From a theoretical point of view, we got to know, among other things, the different flags and their meaning, but from a practical point of view we were allowed to do 15 laps with the racing cars to get a feel for it.” The racing drivers will take part in the qualification on Friday, July 15th, and two 30-minute races are on the program on Saturday and Sunday. “Of course I don’t expect to win the race,” said Peter Fill, “I want to have a chat. But of course I don’t want to miss out on a little competition with Theaux.”
