The new year has just started and I really look forward to the coming year. For me Mats is growing every day, the new DTM will be interesting and generally I try to focus mainly on having a great year together with Audi Sport and Abt-Sportsline. This in combination with a lot of focus on being healthy I am interested to see the result once we see christmas again. The complete familylife is really nice and health is a important factor. Heidi, Mats, Moss and Lou are today in good shape and I hope it stays like this for long. I will as always do my best and hope that it is good enough to achieve my goals. Your, Mattias

Now the DTM saeson 2011 is over. Last night was the official Final party and now I have my focus set on the Race of Champions in Dåusseldorf next week. I will take part in the individual event as I have to go to the DMSB gala and celebrate my vice championship. Now I will continue recover on my sofa and watch the final F1 race of the season from Interlagos.

Believe it or not? Even racedrivers have honbies. Tomorrow I will have my first tey on the track.

The last Dtm race of the year in Hockenheim is now over. I had a weekend with mixed emotions. In qualyfying I struggled and ended on P10. In the race the car was good again and I could make some places to end on P6. As I was infront of Bruno Spengler we ended on P2 in the drivers championship. The team championship we won as Rocky had a good race with P4 and was infront of Gary Paffet.

Another perfect weekend with a win. I felt great all weekend long and from pole position I manage to grad the lead and I kept it all the way. It feels great! Another person that is happy today is MArtin Tomczyk. After 11 years of trying he managed this year to win the DTM title. All in style with so far a top 5 as his worst position in the race. Now some PR work and soon again testing. But first of all I look forward to come home to my Heidi, little Mats and the my dogs. /Mattias

After 11 years I finally manage to win a race in Oschersleben. I had a lot of luck in the first corners and after this I had very good pace and could enjoy every lap.

It just looks great!

Now September is here and the weather is suposed to be perfect until Sunday. I will enjy the last days with my family and charge the batteries for the autm. Exciting weeks are coming.

Today I had a great race with a fantastic start from P5. When I saw the finishline as P2 it felt like a win and now we are P3 in the championship. Fantastic!!!!

On the Cravan exhibition in Düsseldorf I was visiting the Concorde stand and giving and interview and some autographs. On some free time I check out the news and I really like the new interia look with the different colours of the wood. The competitiors are also working hard but as I feel Concorde is the leader in the premium segment.

My first week of holiday is now over and it was really nice to recover after a lot of racing. Now the second week starts and I have time to do some sports. This photo is taken in Davos on the Parsenn mountain with my new Ghost Mtb bike. A fantastic day with perfect weather.

Finally the first Dtm victory of the season. A perfect weekend and now time to have a little holiday. Jihaaaaa

A perfect weekend so far. Tomorrow is a new day and I will do mu outmost to get a win. Sent from my iPhone Mattias Ekstrom

No deal is done and I will take part in ROC in Düsseldorf. It will be a nice end of season party and as always I will do my best to win the race. Sent from my iPhone Mattias Ekstrom

Finally after been trying many times I have now won my first 24H race with Audi. It was a greatfeeling after a long and hard race around the famous Spa Francorchamps track. We started the race from P7 and during the race we used slicks all the time even it was wet for some laps in the night. Today I feel in my body that I did a 24H race and slept only 2 hours in the night. Now some needed rest and try and find as much energy as possible to the DTM weekend coming up at the Nürburgring.

The new Dtm car from Audi will be the A5 model. I think it looks great and I hope it will be as quick as it looks.

The preparations, the team spirit and the joy of accomplishing something together. It's as central in racing as the sprint for the finish line, whether it's Formula 1, DTM or WRC. But even more so in soap box racing! I can't resist smiling when I see the video clips with some of the teams that will race in Red Bull Soap Box Race on Sunday July 3rd in Stockholm. See for yourselves (Swedish - no subtitles), and you know what I'm talking about: VIDEO - Sörfors Riders VIDEO - Team DBG VIDEO - Army of Love

After a very hard and long 24h it is now over. We tried as hard as we could but it was not enough to win. Now I need a massage and some sleep to recover quick.

Lausitzring have been one of the tracks were I have been very happy leaving the track Sunday evening. This time is was different. We struggled to get the balance of the car to my liking and in th first stint of the race I lost a lof of places. If that was not to be bad enough the first pitstop top more time as the fuelcan can with me a bit. I have already set my mind on the 24H Nürburgring this weekend and will enjoy it from Wednesday until Monday.

To get some fresh air and a perfect outdoor training I did a bikeride on my Ghoost Lector World Cup mountanibike in the Davos mountains. Perfect weather and a lot of green to watch. Now food and relaxiing until the raceweekend starts. Let's see what we can do this time. Motivation and energy is 100% now. :-)
