Kiel Week and Audi - that's a connection that simply fits. For many years now, the company from Ingolstadt has been providing the perfect 'drive' for Kiel's main sailing and summer festival.

After a break, Audi is now returning as a premium and mobility partner - and is supporting the shuttle and trailer service in the city center and in Schilksee with its vehicles.

"I am very pleased that Audi is back in the Kiel Week boat. We are gaining a strong partner with whom we have been working closely and trustfully for a long time," says Mayor Ulf Kämpfer: "Now we have to go full throttle for a great Kiel Week 2022. We want to create very special moments, memories and encounters at the end of June - this is also made possible by the support and commitment of our premium partners Audi and Rewe."

"Particularly in view of our sustainability strategy and the major logistical challenges that a Kiel Week brings with itself, Audi is a real asset," adds Head of Regatta Organization Dirk Ramhorst.

The changeover between the different boat classes on Tuesday and Wednesday could not be managed in any other way without the trailer service.

"We are incredibly proud to have Audi as another innovation partner at our side. Together we already launched KielerWoche.TV in 2011, which is still established today, and now we are making further mutual plans for the future," says Ramhorst.
