2009–2020 track record: Honors around the globe
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 threeyears, eight drivers’ championships and thirteen 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 three 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 clearly been shaping the world of TCR racing since 2017. 16 driver titles, plus 38 successes in additional categories as well as five 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.
