René Rast (born 26 October 1986 in Minden, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany), is a German racing driver, who competes in the 2020 DMSB Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship for Audi Sport Team Rosberg[1] An Audi factory driver and accomplished GT driver, Rast started the 2020 season as the reigning DTM Champion, having won both the 2019 and 2017 Championships.[2]
Rast originally made his DTM debut during the 2016 season, initially to replace an injured Adrien Tambay at the 2016 Zandvoort Race 2.[3] He subsequently replaced Mike Rockenfeller at the 2016 Season Finale, claiming his first points finish.[4]
For 2017 Rast was promoted to a full DTM race seat, placed at Team Rosberg alongside Jamie Green for the campaign.[5] The two would duly battle for the title throughout the season, with Rast ultimately emerging with the crown having scored 179 points.[6]
Remaining at Team Rosberg with Green for 2018, Rast would endure a slow start to the campaign, including a heavy crash at the Lausitzring.[7] However, a stunning second half of the season saw Rast set a new record for most race wins in a row at six, putting him in second in the Championship behind Gary Paffett.[8]
Rast's form carried over to the 2019 season, with the German racer going on to dominate the season.[2] The German racer claimed seven victories en-route to his second Championship title, beating Nico Müller by 72 points.[9]
Background[]
After a fairly standard junior career in karting, which climaxed in a single season in Formula BMW, Rast claimed his first title with the 2005 ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup.[10] A single season in the Seat Leon Supercopa Germany followed, before Rast began his long association with the various Porsche Carrera Cup series.[10] His maiden season in the German version came in 2007 with little success, although his results were good enough to earn future drives in both the German Cup and the Porsche Supercup.[10]
Porsche Power[]
2008 saw Rast's career really take off, with the German sweeping to the title in the German Cup, while also completing a near full season in the Supercup.[10] 2009 saw Rast take second in the Supercup, before winning the series outright in 2010, the season he also started in the ADAC GT Masters.[10] The following two seasons of Supercup belonged to Rast, the German making it three titles in a row in 2012, a season in which he also won the German Cup and the ADAC GT Masters.[10]
Amid his dominance of the Supercup, Rast was rewarded with drives in the 12 Hours of Sebring.[10] That developed into a drive at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2012, a race in which the German would win his class.[10] Later that season Rast would take part in the 24 Hours of Spa, taking victory for Audi as his time with Porsche came to an end.[10]
Audi Auxiliary[]
His move to Audi as a factory driver saw Rast given the chance to campaign in the FIA GT Series and the Blancpain Sprint Series, taking maiden victories in both.[10] 2014 saw Rast make his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 class, his performance good enough to get a drive in the third factory Audi R18 in 2015.[10] After his two outings for the factory effort Rast was loaned out again, taking a full World Endurance Championship drive in LMP2, alongside a few appearances in the DTM.[10] The latter would become Rast's primary series for 2017, with Rast also getting a runout in Formula E.[11]
