FOUR Mclaren GT CUSTOMER TEAMS CONFIRM DRIVER LINE- UPS for 2014 TOTAL 24 HOURS of SPA Media Information EMBARGOED: 18:08.BST, 23 July 2014 FOUR McLAREN GT CUSTOMER TEAMS CONFIRM DRIVER LINE- UPS FOR 2014 TOTAL 24 HOURS OF SPA Current championship leaders ART Grand Prix to field two cars with factory drivers among the line-up Belgian-based Boutsen-Ginion Racing to contest home race with the 12C GT3 for the third consecutive year Von Ryan Racing return to the season’s headline race looking to repeat the top 10 finish in 2013 MRS-GT confirmed as a late addition to the exciting grid McLaren 650S GT3 to be displayed in the paddock during the weekend The Blancpain Endurance Series travels to the Ardennes Forest this weekend (23-27 July) for the headline event of the year, the Total 24 Hours of Spa, and McLaren GT will be represented with six examples of the 12C GT3. Customer teams ART Grand Prix and Boutsen-Ginion Racing will both enter two car line-ups, while British-based Von Ryan Racing and MRS-GT are confirmed for one-off entries into the championship with one car each. The 24 Hours of Spa is one of the most demanding challenges on the motorsport calendar, and the three teams return to the famous Belgian circuit looking to build on the experiences of the last two seasons having all contested the twice-round-the-clock battle of endurance. Early championship contenders ART Grand Prix retain the Pro driver line-ups who currently lead the team championship. The #98 car will see factory driver Alvaro Parente partner Gregoire Demoustier and Nicolas Lapierre, with the trio looking to build on the pole position and second place finish at the last round in Paul Ricard, France. Fellow factory driver Kevin Estre will be joined by Kevin Korjus and Andy Soucek in the sister #99 car keen to repeat the race win they scored in the season’s opening round in Monza, Italy. The Boutsen-Ginion Racing team returns to the Total 24 Hours of Spa with the 12C GT3 for the third consecutive season with two cars. Heading to the team’s home race, the Blancpain Endurance Series regulars will continue with the driver trios that contested the last round in Paul Ricard. Oliver Grotz, Karim Ojjeh and Frederic Vervisch will be at the wheel of the #15 car, while the sister #16 McLaren will be piloted by Alex Demirdjan, Shahan Sarkissian and Chris van der Drift. The line-ups will be completed with current International GT Open champion Giorgio Pantano joining the #15 car, and Belgian Michal Schmetz taking the final spot in the #16 car. Von Ryan Racing, owned and run by former McLaren Formula 1™ sporting director Dave Ryan, has again put together a strong driver trio, with an extremely strong and experienced line-up set to pilot the 12C GT3. McLaren GT factory driver Rob Bell returns from racing in Asia this season to lead the team alongside 2012 Barcelona 24-hour race winner Tim Mullen and Shane van Gisbergen. The New Zealand racer van Gisbergen is no stranger to endurance racing in a McLaren, having contested the Bathurst 12-hour earlier this season, when the 12C GT3 made its debut at the famous Australian event. The final McLaren GT customer team to confirm entry was MRS-GT, which will run under the banner Russian GT by MRS for the weekend. The team will continue with this season’s Estonian / German driver pairing in ADAC GT Masters of Marko Asmer and Florian Spengler. Sharing the driving duties will be former Formula 2 racer Kazimieras Vasiliauskas and the experienced Alexey Vasiliev from Russia. Alongside the high octane action on the track, McLaren GT will also showcase the newly revealed 650S GT3 in the paddock, giving race fans an opportunity to get a closer look at the car which was unveiled at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new model will debut on GT grids around the world from next year.

In the iconic endurance race in Belgium, Audi Sport Team WRT took second place in front of Audi Sport Team Phoenix. Quotes by drivers and officials. Romolo Liebchen (Head of Audi Sport customer racing) “It was another really tough 24-hour race. In the end, we achieved our goal of finishing the race with the four new Audi R8 LMS. It wasn’t quite enough for victory, but we mounted the podium with two teams. We congratulate our colleagues from BMW on their victory. They worked for it for a long time. Next time, we’re going to attack again.” Nico Müller (Audi Sport Team WRT #2), position 2 “This was my first 24-hour race at Spa. Being part of this project with the new Audi R8 LMS was fun. The double podium was a nice achievement by the whole squad. Everyone can be proud of this result.” Stéphane Ortelli (Audi Sport Team WRT #2), position 2 “I’d like to dedicate this podium result to my old friend Jules Bianchi. My team- mates and I experienced a fantastic and fair battle here. In the rain, we were faster than BMW and running in front of them. But BMW were subsequently faster on a dry track, so we still need to improve. But we finished the race and put three new Audi R8 LMS cars in the top five.

  • 2016 Media Guide
    2016 MEDIA GUIDE Toyota Racing Series: TOP INTERNATIONALS CHALLENGE LEADING KIWI DRIVERS New Zealand’s premier single-seater championship has once more attracted a top field of international drivers to this country to do battle with New Zealand drivers for the most prestigious trophies in New Zealand motor racing. The championship, now in its 12th season, and in the second season for the new FT50 race car, the series was established to help young New Zealanders to advance their racing careers by giving them experience in modern composite-based ‘wings and slicks’ race cars. It has launched Kiwis into international racing careers. New Zealand graduates of the series include 2015 FIA World Endurance Champion Brendon Hartley, Le Mans 24-Hour race winner Earl Bamber, GP2 racers Mitch Evans and Richie Stanaway, Japanese Formula Three champion Nick Cassidy, Chinese Formula Masters champion James Munro, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion Chris van der Drift and V8 Supercars driver Shane van Gisbergen. This year three Kiwis are racing – James Munro (Christchurch), 2015 national Formula Ford champion Taylor Cockerton (Pukekohe) and 2015 Spirit of a Nation TRS feature race winner Brendon Leitch. Munro is having his third shot at winning the TRS championship as is Leitch, while it is Cockerton’s first year in the top category. The international talent they will race against is considerable. Brazilian 17-year-old Pedro Piquet, son of three-time world Formula One champion Nelson (1981, 1983, 1987), is returning to the TRS after contesting the opening rounds in 2014. In the intervening period he has won the Brazilian Formula Three Championship for the last two years and will be using the TRS series as a springboard into the FIA European Formula Three Championship where he will team up with British driver and 2015 TRS graduate Callum Ilott at Van Amersfoort racing.

    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.
