Following impeccable and thorough preparation, the brand with the four rings presents itself as the second- best manufacturer in the field of the eleven automotive brands. In his home round, Laurens Vanthoor achieved the best performance of all Audi drivers. The Belgian in the Audi R8 LMS of Audi Sport Team WRT qualified for grid position seven. “My lap wasn’t completely perfect, but basically we made good use of our possibilities,” said the 2014 Spa winner. “Admittedly, there was a clear gap to the top. Now, it’s important for me and my teammates Nico Müller and René Rast to get through the race without any mistakes.” The Frenchman Franck Perera in the Audi of Team I.S.R. Racing took eighth place and Christopher Haase (D) achieved position twelve for Saintéloc Racing. Directly trailing them, Robin Frijns (NL) qualified for Belgian Audi Club Team WRT and Christopher Mies (D) for Audi Sport Team Phoenix. “All Audi customer teams intensively prepared for the GT3 race with the toughest competition of the year,” said Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “The forces are distributed to several teams.

    Vincent Franceschini <[email protected]> Larbre Competition revels amid adversity in Le Mans Test Day 1 message Larbre Competition Press Office 7 June 2016 at 11:37 <[email protected]> Reply­To: Larbre Competition Press Office <[email protected]> To: [email protected] LARBRE COMPETITION REVELS AMID ADVERSITY IN LE MANS TEST DAY #50 Corvette C7.R sets LMGTE Am pace at La Sarthe French GT experts adapt preparations after Ruberti’s injury Larbre Competition left last weekend’s official Le Mans Test Day (June 5) with its #50 Corvette C7.R having set the fastest time in the LMGTE Am category. The French outfit’s performance was all the more remarkable given the fact that it had to reshuffle its programme following team leader Paolo Ruberti’s last-minute forfeit due to injury. The Italian was driver coaching at Hockenheim, Germany when his car had a brake issue, which resulted in a heavy crash at 200kph. While Paolo’s student was only bruised, Larbre’s pro racer ended up with a compound fracture to a lumbar vertebra that will prevent him from making a seventh career appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite a very tight schedule, team manager Jack Leconte could rely on Larbre’s experience and reputation to draft a pair of talented drivers to assist regular pilots Pierre Ragues and Yutaka Yamagishi: they were Frenchman Jean-Philippe Belloc, who knows the Vigeant-based squad very well after racing three times under their flag at the French endurance classic, and Dutchman Nicky Catsburg, who was part of the 2015 24 Hours of Spa-winning trio.

  • New Audi R8 LMS Meets with Fiercest Competition of the Season at Spa
    Communications Motorsport Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 841 89 41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi-mediacenter.com New Audi R8 LMS meets with fiercest competition of the season at Spa • Four new Audi R8 LMS to be fielded in Spa 24 Hours • Presence of customer teams with six other GT3 sports cars of the brand • World’s largest GT3 competition with 58 race cars Ingolstadt, July 17, 2015 – The new Audi R8 LMS is facing its toughest test so far: the 24-hour race at Spa, Belgium. On July 25 and 26, the race car has to stand its ground in a large field made up of 58 GT3 race cars from eleven marques. The 68th running of the endurance race will be the final test before production of the Audi R8 LMS starts. In September, Audi will start producing the new Audi R8 LMS for its customers. The fundamentally redesigned production-based race car instantly won its first 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in May. Now the second test in endurance racing is coming up on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Belgian Ardennes. Only after this test will Audi determine the final specifications. “The races at Spa and at the Nürburgring are not comparable. The Spa 24 Hours are part of the Blancpain Endurance Series in which, due to the regulations, a different rating of the various race cars applies than at the Nürburgring,” says Romolo Liebchen, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. The teams work together with a different tire manufacturer who is mandatory for all the participants in this series.

  • 2017 Nürburgring 24 Hours. Bmw Motorsport Media Information
    2017 NÜRBURGRING 24 HOURS. BMW MOTORSPORT MEDIA INFORMATION. Sheer Driving Pleasure FOREWORD. JENS MARQUARDT, BMW MOTORSPORT DIRECTOR. Dear media representatives, The 24-hour race at the Nürburgring is the highlight of our European GT season in 2017. No other manufacturer has competed in this event with as much success as BMW. With 19 overall wins, we have been part of the 24h Nürburgring success story since 1970, and have shaped the event. The fans reward our teams with fantastic support every year and I’m certain the same will be true in 2017. The ‘Green Hell’ has become a second home for BMW Motorsport and the M Festival, which has turned into a permanent fixture on the support programme of the 24-hour race. To enjoy sporting success on the Nordschleife, you need experienced teams and reliable, fast drivers. We will compete with both once again this season, as well as competitive cars – the BMW M6 GT3 in particular. This may just be our biggest and best squad of all time at the Nürburgring. But it will, of course, once again be an extremely difficult race – due to the demanding track, the strong competition and all the surprises that a 24-hour race in the Eifel mountains has in store. Yours sincerely This is an interactive Media Information. Click on the tabs below Jens Marquardt for example to choose BMW Motorsport Director a specific chapter.
