A total of nine Audis were entered this weekend. This included two Audi
R8 LMS ultra cars, one each from Twin Busch Motorsport and Phoenix Racing. Three
Audi Sport customer racing developed Audi TT RS cars were entered in the SP3T
class: the #1 from LMS Engineering, the #331 from Raeder Motorsport and the
#290. Four more Audis were also entered in the SP3T class, which included three
TTS cars and one TT.
Twin Busch Motorsport qualified in third position followed by the
Phoenix Racing entry in nineteenth. SP3T class pole and twentieth overall went
to the #1 TT RS from LMS Engineering.
By the end of the endurance race held on Saturday it was a case of
double victory for the Audi Sport customer racing teams. Twin Busch Motorsport
took the overall and SP9 victory with their #44 Audi R8 LMS ultra driven by Marc
and Dennis Busch. In SP3T it was also an Audi victory, as the #1 Audi TT RS
