Today marks the end of the winter break and the beginning of testing for DTM drivers from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. Wouldn't that be a great day job? The first tests are currently underway at the Hungaroring and will conclude on April 3, but the whole event has allowed us a peek at some of the great new car liveries, especially from Audi.

After this morning’s test, Jamie Green, Adrien Tambay, and Miguel Molina have recorded the top times of the morning for Audi, hovering around the 1:38’s. We caught up with Mike Rockenfeller (Audi) and Augusto Farfus (BMW) last week for a chat while on the set of the Castrol Titanium Trials.

Rockenfeller took the championship last year with Farfus coming in second, but while both drivers are fierce competitors, they're quite friendly off the track. Rocky finished off the session with the fifth fastest time, Farfus has yet to run. The season begins at Hockenheim on May 4.
