Following last year's first event at the Lausitzring and a date at Portimao, Audi Sport customer racing organised a joint test with customer teams for the third time. On the Vallelunga circuit north of Rome, up to 13 race cars were on the road for three days. The test days served to prepare for the European season after teams in America, Asia and Australia have already clinched their first trophies since January.
"The positive response from teams from five countries is pleasing and confirms the concept of a joint test that we intend to offer in the future as well," says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. In changeable weather on a wet but also completely dry track, the drivers of the customer teams as well as of Audi Sport customer racing sat behind the steering wheel.
Sainteloc Racing also had two Audi R8 LMS GT4 cars in Italy. The Swiss team Capricorn had come to Vallelunga with a first-generation Audi R8 LMS. PK Carsport from Belgium was also the first customer team on site to enter the new GT2 European Series with an Audi R8 LMS GT2. Finally, new signing Nathanael Berthon and Frederic Vervisch continued Audi Sport's test program with the second-generation Audi RS3 LMS.
"While the customer teams completed their own programs and achieved productive results, our program included set-up runs with the GT3 sports cars. In the process, we completed a total of 1,250 test kilometres and gained interesting insights in changing weather conditions," said Stefan Gugger, Project Manager Audi R8 LMS GT3.
