Table lead defended: The Australian driver duo of Tim Miles and Jaxon Evans continues to maintain its top spot in the standings after round three of the Australian Endurance Championship. The two privateers contested the Hampton Downs 500 weekend in an Audi R8 LMS of Team Valvoline and finished in second place. Before the finale at Highlands Motorsport Park on November 10, the driver duo, following two victories this season and position two to date, now has a 76-point advantage over its immediate rivals. 

Podium result in season opener: Tianshi Racing Team clinched a trophy at the beginning of the 2017/18 season of the Asian Le Mans Series. The squad contested the GT class in round one of the endurance racing series on the track at Zhuhai in China. The two Chinese campaigners, Peng Liu and Weian Chen, together with their Italian fellow driver Massimiliano Wiser in the Audi R8 LMS achieved third place after four hours of racing. 

Audi RS 3 LMS (TCR)

Three victories for the Audi RS 3 LMS: Andy Yan from Team New Faster Racing managed an impeccable weekend in the TCR China. The local campaigner remained unbeaten in his Audi RS 3 LMS in the fourth event at Ningbo in all three races.

The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. The WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC on January 1, 2022, which means that no NEDC figures are available for vehicles with new type approvals from after this date.

The figures do not refer to a single, specific vehicle and are not part of the offering but are instead provided solely to allow comparisons of the different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, different tire formats, etc.) may change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Due to the more realistic test conditions, the consumption and CO2 emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation since September 1, 2018. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.audi.de/wltp

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany (www.dat.de).
