Although it is expected DTM should be among them - Luca Engstler is an obvious choice for a driver if there's just a single car but if there are two, there are rumours about Marius Zug in the second Audi.
And all of that comes amid Rosberg's and Attempto's struggle for the commitment to the DTM because of lack of details from Audi about the level of their manufacturer involvement. I understand Abt is quite safe either because of their closer affiliation with Audi or because of their better sponsorship situation (or both). However, for Rosberg and Attempto - if Audi doesn't commit to a stronger support (and they feel Audi isn't in much of a rush of confirming any details) they might as well be out of the DTM.
So potentially we'll have Abt and Engstler as official Audi teams in the DTM this year.

DTM is indeed not official confirmed but the autosport.nl piece is written by René de Boer, a reliable journalist with close connections to DTM.
