With five titles to its credit in the DTM alone, Abt Sportsline (competing under Audi Sport ABT) is one of the most successful German teams in GT and endurance racing. Led by Team Principal Hans-Jürgen Abt, the owner-operated team includes 21-year-old Daniel Abt, son of Hans-Jürgen, and racing veteran Lucas di Grassi.

"We warmly welcome Warsteiner to our Formula E family," said Abt.
