2009–2019 track record: Honors around the globe
Back to overviewSince 2009, Audi Sport customer racing has established itself as a global player numbering among the best in the business. Together with its customers the brand has won all major endurance races, important national competitions and international titles. Whereas only the GT3 model was initially fielded, the GT4 version of the sports car and the TCR touring car have been contributing their share to this remarkable sporting track record since 2017 as well.
The Audi R8 LMS GT3 is the Audi Sport model with the longest fielding history. Spread to two model generations, the sports car has clinched 75 overall championships and 96 other titles since 2009. Outstanding as well are the model’s stand-alone victories in endurance racing: On 13 occasions, its drivers have stood on the top step of the podium in iconic 24-hour races such as those at the Nürburgring, at Spa, in Dubai and at Zolder, plus the tally reflects eight overall victories in 12-hour races. Four successes scored in the famous street races in Macau and two class wins at Daytona complete the car’s track record.
Since 2018, the GT4 version of the sports car has achieved a remarkable string of successes too. Within the space of just two years, seven drivers’ championships and eleven other title wins went to the entry-level version of the Audi R8 LMS. To date, the model has decided all the major racing series in the United States, on European level and in the high-caliber French market in its favor. With two class wins in 24-hour races plus one more in a 12- and an 8-hour race respectively, the production-based model has repeatedly demonstrated its reliability.
Concurrently, the Audi RS 3 LMS has been shaping the world of TCR racing since 2017. Eleven driver titles, plus 25 successes in additional categories as well as four class wins scored by now in 24-hour races and the title “TCR Car of the Year” in the 2018 season emphasize the qualities of the compact sedan that has found many friends around the world.
