Customer racing programme for Audi in 2003
After winning the Le Mans 24 Hours and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS)
three times in a row, AUDI AG has restructured its motorsport programme for
the 2003 season. The Audi R8, today´s most successful sportscar, will
continue to race next year and will be entered by customer teams supported
by Audi importers.
Negotiations with Audi importers and teams, interested in racing the 610 hp
sportscar, are ongoing. It is planned to continue the partnership with
Reinhold Joest´s team in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). The customer
teams will be able to count on Audi works drivers Frank Biela, Rinaldo
Capello, Tom Kristensen and Emanuele Pirro and their huge experience.
In addition, Audi will continue its successful collaboration in Germany with
Team Abt Sportsline in the DTM (German Touring Car Masters). On condition
that a minimum of three manufacturers take part in the DTM series in the
future and that the regulations continue to guarantee equal chances to the
different cars.
