WRT Belgian Audi Club with two R8 LMS ultra at Dubai 24


By Tarek Ramchani

The already healthy 2013 Dubai 24 Hours entry list will have another great addition. The Belgian Audi Club Team WRT will enter the Emirati endurance event with two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars.

WRT will debut in the United Arab Emirates at the beginning of 2013 but the Belgian team is now one of the strongest squads in endurance racing. WRT just won the Zolder 24 Hours and is still in the hunt for the Blancpain Endurance Series titles in both the driver and team standings. This entry raises the R8 LMS ultra squad up to three in the Dubai 24 Hours. The Americans from DragonSpeed are already confirmed with their Audi R8 LMS ultra.

No announcements have been made as of yet regarding the driver lineups for the two cars. However WRT will be among the big favorites for the overall win in the eighth edition of the Dubai 24 Hours. The provisional 2013 Dubai 24 Hours entry list is here.
