Monza played host to the seventh and final
round of the 2013 Italian GT Championship season this weekend. It was a victorious end to
the season for Audi Sport Italia and their Audi R8 LMS ultra cars.
Audi Sport Italia was entered with their
regular two-car Audi R8 LMS ultra team. The #5 Audi R8 LMS ultra was driven by
Alex Frassineti and Johan Kristoffersson, along with their sister #4 Audi
driven by Dindo Capello and Andrea Sonvico.
It was a difficult first race yesterday, as the best placed Audi was the #5 in fifth, whilst their teammates finished tenth after a puncture.

The second and final race on Sunday, saw Audi
Sport Italia bouncing back to take victory in the final race of the season. Frassineti
and Kristoffersson converted their third position on the grid into a well
deserved race victory. They were followed home by their teammates in fourth, who were later promoted to third after a penalty for one of their competitors. A
great result for Audi Sport Italia to conclude their 2013 season, which saw race
wins with the R8 LMS ultra in the Italian GT Championship and the Superstars championship title with Gianni
Morbidelli and the RS 5 quattro.
