The DMV Touring Car
Challenge headed to France this weekend, hosting round seven at Dijon. RS
Tuning added a second Audi R8 LMS ultra to their arsenal for the event in France.
Two Audi cars were entered for the Dijon DMV TCC event, two Audi R8 LMS ultra cars from RS Tuning. The team has been running a single orange/white R8 LMS ultra for Suzanne Weidt in recent DMV TCC events, and they have also taken victory with the car in the AvD 100 Meilen at the Red Bull Ring. Both of the team’s cars are in full 2013 Audi R8 LMS ultra specification, with the original 2013 rear diffuser. The second car was driven by Suzanne Weidt this weekend, in a white and pink livery (#88), whilst Weidt’s older car, in the white and orange livery (#8), was driven by Dietmar Haggenmüller.
