“For us, it was never exclusively about sporting success,” notes Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “Since day one, we’ve designed our customer racing program to provide teams on all continents with a high-performance product, individual support and seamless service.”
To that end, you can find Audi Sport in Canada, Australia, China, Japan and the US. Audi Sport customer racing looks after the European markets from Germany.
The near-production race car shares half of its DNA with the road-legal model. It’s built at the Audi Sport customer racing workshop in the Biberach district of Heilbronn, on an advanced chassis design that features a mix of aluminum, carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers and steel.
