Audi has found a replacement for dismissed Abbot

Daniel Abbot knows who got his spot at Audi. Rene Rast will take care of the remaining six races in Formula E. Rast is already double DTM champion.
One of the most striking events in motorsport was the dismissal of driver Daniel Abt at Audi. De Duister took part in a sim race but didn't take the seat himself. He hired a professional simracer to do the work for him. It took the abbot a long time. After Stoffel Vandoorne did not trust it, De Duister admitted that he indeed did not control the game himself.
It became expensive for the Formula E driver. A few days later he was fired by his team. Audi has now appointed a replacement and that's not the first one. Two-time DTM champion Rene Rast will finish the season. "I've been a Formula E fan for a while and I'm looking forward to this new challenge," said Rast.
In August there will be twelve races in three weeks, including six races in nine days, in Berlin. Rast will only drive the races in the capital of Germany.
