Audi Sport customer racing has acquired the first customers for the Audi R8 LMS GT4. The racers from the U.S.A, Australia, China and Europe took over the first 12 sports cars of the most recent model range in Neuburg an der Donau.
Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH, and Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing, personally welcomed the customers at Audi's Neuburg location.
Five race cars went to customers from the U.S.A and two each to customers from Asia, to Team Bourguignon from the Netherlands, to Phoenix Racing from Germany and one to an Australian customer.
Audi has successfully tested the R8 LMS GT4 this year on several occasions, including the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring and in the VLN Endurance Championship.
Now the first purely private racing commitments of the Audi R8 LMS GT4 are coming up when Phoenix Racing contests the Dubai 24 Hours with two cars from 12th to 13th January 2018.
Two weeks later, the season of the North American IMSA series will kick off at Daytona. On the first weekend in February, customers are going to contest the Bathurst 12 Hour before the Audi R8 LMS Cup starts its seventh season in March.
