Prosperia uhc Speed and Christian Abt have joined forced to form the newly named team of Prosperia C.Abt Racing. The team will enter two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars as they did in 2012. Last year the team had a very mixed season with many ups and downs.


New comers to Audi are MS Racing with a two-car effort. The team had a fantastic 2012 season in the series by winning both the teams and drivers titles.
