Audi offers customers a chance to race


Drivers of used Audi cars have been offered the chance to make their motorsport dreams come true by booking exclusive racing commitments with the Audi R8 LMS.

The Le Mans-winning Reinhold Joest team has been made available to allow Audi customers to take part in a race without the need to enter into a long-term commitment or part with large amounts of cash.

"The idea of letting customers contest races with a high-calibre sports car like the R8 LMS could only have come from Audi,” said Ralf Juttner, managing director of Joest Racing.

"Although this is an unusual task for us it is, no doubt, a very interesting one as well. We're proud to have been selected as the race team."

A total of six races have been planned for the 2010 season, while there are plans for events with the Audi R8 LMS at Audi's driver training facility.

Audi recently named the driver-lineup for its German Touring Car Masters campaign, which includes Spaniard Miguel Molina.ADNFCR-2576-ID-19648647-ADNFCR
