​Audi race experience in Nürburgring 24 Hours with two R8 LMS ultra cars

In the Nürburgring 24 Hours (16–17 May) the Audi race experience is fielding two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars. For the first time, Audi Sport customer racing Asia is putting four drivers from Asia on the grid: the current Champion of the Audi R8 LMS Cup, Alex Yoong, the 2012 Champion Marchy Lee, Shaun Thong from the Audi Sport TT Cup and the seasoned campaigner ‘Franky’ Cheng Congfu will be sharing the cockpit of an Audi R8 LMS ultra and contesting the qualification race on April 12 as well.
