Ready for the title decision

Nine weeks after the originally scheduled date, the finale of the Intercontinental GT Challenge in South Africa will take place on February 5. The latest Corona virus variant had forced a postponement of the Kyalami 9 Hour at short notice in December. Audi will face the title decision in the only worldwide GT3 racing series with two powerful teams and six Audi Sport drivers: Audi Sport Team Saintéloc will field the number 25 R8 LMS for Patric Niederhauser, Kelvin van der Linde and Markus Winkelhock. Audi Sport Team WRT relies on the driver trio Christopher Haase/Dries Vanthoor/Charles Weerts with number 32. Audi Sport leads the manufacturers standings with a 36-point advantage after the victory at Indianapolis. A maximum of 43 points can be collected by a manufacturer at the last race. In the drivers standings, Winkelhock, Niederhauser and Haase in second place are only two points behind the leaders of the standings. The High Class Racing, Saintéloc Racing and MJR teams will also be fielding privateer driver lineups in the finale.
