Audi Sport customer racing is supporting two partner teams in the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR), formerly known as the FIA World Touring Car Championship. The series is exclusively reserved to TCR race cars and encompasses rounds in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. For Audi Sport customer racing, the Comtoyou Racing and WRT teams will officially be on the grid.

Team WRT from Baudour, Belgium - one of the most successful Audi customer teams in GT3 racing since 2010 - will prepare two Audi RS3 LMS cars for Gordon Shedden and Jean-Karl Vernay.

31-year old Belgian Frederic Vervisch will compete as an Audi Sport driver in the WTCR as well. The 2008 ATS Formula 3 Cup winner and Audi Sport customer racing GT3 campaigner will continue to drive for Comtoyou Racing. Last year, the squad based in Waterloo, Belgium, relied on Vervisch in the TCR International Series as well. Three teammates complete the lineup. The provisional calendar encompasses nine events on four continents, each with three races per weekend.
