Alongside classic gentleman drivers and seasoned semi-pro campaigners, pros such as WEC driver René Rast (D) or the former Formula One drivers Markus Winkelhock (D) and Will Stevens (GB) are handling commitments in the Blancpain GT Series with Audi.
“Never before have as many Audi race cars been on the Blancpain GT Series grid,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “Our customer teams are contesting the events with promising driver squads. Still, we’re facing one of the fiercest competitions of all, as the ten other automobile manufacturers with their teams are absolutely competitive rivals.”
