The ABT-Audi
TT-R of Doug Gore is back in Jamaica. The ATL Automotive sponsored machine has
undergone a thorough rebuild at the ABT Sportsline workshops in Germany. The
rebuild was necessitated after a crash at the Dover Circuit in Jamaica last
year. The crash occurred during the first Carribean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC)
round of 2012. The car suffered a lot of damage, especially to the
chassis. The damage meant that the car was out for the rest of the 2012 season as it needed to
go home to Germany for repairs. More can be read about the repair HERE.
The absence of Doug Gore and the Audi was a disappointment for the 2012 season, as the ever present clash of the titans between Doug Gore and David
Summerbell could not take place. The Carribean fans are delighted to know that
Doug and the Audi are back in 2013. The car arrived in Jamaica this week and
will soon be on display. The car will be on show on Thursday 28 February ahead
of its first 2013 race meeting. The 2013 Circuit Attack at Jamwest Speedway is
taking place this weekend, and the ATL Automotive TT-R will be there.
The car will be featuring new bodywork, similar to that used by SVC Vitver
Racing from the Czech Republic, which resembles the appearance of a Mk2 Audi TT. More can be read about
the SVC TT-R HERE:
The scene is
set for the highly anticipated return of Doug Gore and the Audi. We wish the
best of luck to Doug Gore and the ATL Automotive team for the Jamwest race meeting.
