Christian Abt će na kraju ovogodišnje DTM sezone, 14. oktobra, povući iz DTM takmičenja.
Fabrički vozač Audija, će u svojoj 40. godini prestati da vozi u DTM šampionatu, kako kaže dok je još uvek u doboroj vozačkoj formi. Odluka o povlačenju iz ovog takmičenja je doneta nakon završetka pošlogodišnje sezone, a tada je Abt i doneo odluku da ovu odluku objavi pred Norisring trku, koja je njemu veoma značajna, zbog osvajanja drugog mesta na trci voženoj 2005. godine.
Christian Abt nastupa u DTM-u od 2000. godine, a pored vozačkih kvaliteta deo zasluge je veoma bliska veza sa Audi Motorsport-om, i činjenica da Abt kompanija vodi jedan od Audi timova u DTM takmičenju, a kojom rukovodi njegov rođeni brat.
Christian Abt ne planira potpuno povlačenje iz autosporta, ali najavljuje da će i dalje nastaviti da vozi.
