Audi Sport customer racing teams won the Dubai 24 Hours and the Gulf 12 Hours with the GT3 race car in 2019. In strategic commitments, Audi Sport together with its partners decided the Nürburgring 24 Hours for the fifth time and the Suzuka 10 Hours for the first time in its favor. Title successes in Australia, Germany, Central Europe and Thailand round out the tally of the young race car to date. These successes, which Audi Sport customer racing scored against fiercest competition of up to twelve brands, validate the direction in which the development was headed. “We systematically developed the evolution so that customers would be able to make even better use of the race car,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “Especially the current aero pack enables greater handling consistency in diverse fielding areas.” The successes claimed by amateur drivers in particular show that Audi Sport achieved its objectives.
