Successful 2016 season for Audi Sport customer racing
13 Dec 2016|965 views
Audi has ended the 2016 season with two big trophies. In the Sepang 12 Hours in Malaysia, Audi celebrated overall victory with Laurens Vanthoor, Christopher Haase and Robin Frijns from Audi Sport Team Phoenix. Vanthoor additionally secured the drivers' title in the inaugural Intercontinental GT Challenge and Audi won the manufacturers title.
The race on the Grand Prix circuit was marked by heavy rain showers. The Audi R8 LMS cars did the best job of coping with the difficult conditions and halfway through the race captured positions one and two. After 305 laps, the #15 Audi R8 LMS, which had started from the pit lane, was the first car to see the checkered flag, with a one-lap advantage.
Pierre Kaffer, Rene Rast and Markus Winkelhock in the #16 sister car completed the podium in third place. Audi customer team B-Quik Racing that took class victory with drivers Daniel Bilski, Henk Kiks and Peter Kox had reason to celebrate as well.
In addition to the trophies, Audi Sport customer racing is proud of two milestones. In July, Stephan Winkelmann, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH, handed over the 200th GT3 race car, built by Audi since 2009, to Team Montaplast by Land-Motorsport. In October, the brand presented the Audi RS3 LMS for the TCR category, with the first customer deliveries being planned before the year is out.
