Like last year, the long-standing Audi Sport customer teams Car Collection Motorsport, Land-Motorsport and Phoenix Racing, together with the team from Audi Sport customer racing, are each entrusted with the deployment of one R8 LMS.

  • Audi Sport with Strong Teams at Spa
    Audi MediaInfo Audi Sport with strong teams at Spa • Audi Sport Teams Attempto, Saintéloc and WRT field four R8 LMS cars • Twelve Audi drivers compete for overall victory in the R8 LMS • Customer teams plan to field further privately entered R8 LMS cars Neuburg a. d. Donau, June 29, 2021 – Audi Sport customer racing will contest the world’s biggest GT3 race at Spa from July 29 to August 1 with four powerful driver squads. In 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2017, Audi has already won the 24-hour race in the Ardennes with the R8 LMS. No other manufacturer combines so many victories at Spa in this ten-year period. Now the brand is aiming for its next success in the demanding competition of around 60 teams and nine brands. “The Spa 24 Hours is a dream for every sports car fan and has been offering excellent racing for years,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “No other manufacturer has won at Spa as often as Audi in the last ten years. Last year, we were 4.6 seconds short of victory in the end, so the goal for this year is clear: to find at least that five seconds.” Audi Sport Team WRT, winner at its home round in 2011 and 2014, has entered two Audi R8 LMS cars for Audi Sport customer racing. Audi Sport Team Saintéloc from France, the 2017 winner, is preparing one GT3 sportscar. Audi Sport Team Attempto from Hanover, which missed last year’s victory by a tiny margin, is fielding another mid-engine sports car with the four rings.

With premium quality in products and support Audi Sport’s customer racing department occupies an outstanding position in a tough competitive environment – in as many as four racing categories. In addition, Audi Sport customer racing in 2019 supports commitments in the Intercontinental GT Challenge, the FIA GT World Cup, in the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup and at stand-alone events such as the Nürburgring 24 Hours. The four rings have been firmly established also in customer sport since 2009. Following Audi’s successes in rally racing, in touring car racing and in the sports prototype category, the brand started offering products specifically designed for customers a decade ago. During the first decade the company developed six different models. Everything began in GT3 racing with the Audi R8 LMS that was followed in 2015 by the second generation and is now starting to the 2019 season as an evolution. In 2011, the Audi TT RS that was particularly successful in endurance racing was the second model in the program. In 2015, the Audi TT cup car for one- make racing complemented the portfolio. For the 2017 season, a TCR race touring car – the Audi RS 3 LMS – was available for the first time.

Donau, March 21, 2019 – Audi Sport customer racing holds a record in the Intercontinental GT Challenge, the world’s most prestigious GT3 racing series. The Audi R8 LMS has been unbeaten to date in the California 8 Hours in the United States. Following two straight victories, Audi is now aiming to continue its string of success at Laguna Seca on March 30 when the new evolution of the Audi R8 LMS will compete in this racing series for the first time. Never before has the competition been as fierce as this season: Eight automobile marques have submitted entries for the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge. “It’s a challenge we’re happy to take on as the title defenders in the manufacturers’ classification, but we’ve also seen how difficult it is this year,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. At the season opener at Bathurst, Australia, in early February, the teams and drivers from Audi Sport suffered several setbacks, scoring only three points. Consequently, the upcoming event now marks the beginning of a fightback around the globe. One endurance race each in America, Europe, Asia and Africa completes the calendar of the series until November. Audi has special memories of the upcoming California 8 Hours on the race track at Laguna Seca.

    Communications Motorsport Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 841 89 41753 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi-mediacenter.com/en Ten Audi R8 LMS in ADAC GT Masters • Six teams representing Audi Sport customer racing • Audi is the brand with the largest number of sports cars in the field • All 14 races live on television Ingolstadt, April 13, 2016 – In the tenth season of the ADAC GT Masters, Audi is as present in the field of entrants as never before. A total of ten Audi R8 LMS cars are going to compete in the German GT sports car series. The ADAC GT Masters is one of the best-filled national GT3 series around the globe. Since 2009, teams in the ADAC GT Masters have been relying on Audi’s GT3 sports cars, but never before has the R8 LMS been as popular as this year. “We look forward to welcoming three new teams – Aust Motorsport, Car Collection Motorsport and Montaplast by Land-Motorsport – in our circle of customers,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. The squads of APR Motorsport, Phoenix Racing and Yaco Racing have been relying on the GT3 sports car made by Audi for many years. The Audi Sport customer racing teams are preparing for a tough battle. On seven race weekends in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, the GT3 sports cars from eight marques will be pitted against each other. “That so many drivers have opted for Audi in this environment is a tremendous demonstration of confidence and a compliment paid to our Audi R8 LMS race car,” Reinke says.
