The sixth and final round of the 2013 AvD 100 Meilen championship took
place at Monza this weekend. RS Tuning took part with a single Audi R8 LMS
ultra entry.
This was the third AvD 100 Meilen event in succession which saw the participation
of the RS Tuning Audi R8 LMS ultra. The team won round four overall at the Red
Bull Ring, followed by a GT class runner-up spot at Dijon, round five.
The RS Tuning Audi R8 LMS ultra was shared by Suzanne Weidt and Dietmar
Haggenmüller in the AvD 100 Meilen race at Monza. The same two drivers who piloted the team’s two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars in the DMV TCC races on Saturday. The RS Tuning
Audi R8 LMS ultra cars feature the full 2013 specification, as they are allowed
to run the original 2013 Audi R8 LMS ultra rear diffuser in the DMV TCC and the
AvD 100 Melien.
They qualified in eighth place overall, taking pole in the Div-4.1 class. By the end of the race the #88 Audi R8 LMS ultra crossed the finish line in sixth place overall. This result was enough to clinch victory in the Div-4.1 class, and they were also the leading GT class car in the race, finishing behind the prototype runners.
