GMG Racing took part in testing with one of their Audi R8 LMS cars at
Thunderhill Raceway this week.
GMG Racing has entered two Audi R8 LMS cars for the 2013 25 Hours of
Thunderhill, which will take place from 7-8 December.
The #08 Audi R8 LMS of Alex Welch was wheeled out at Thunderhill Raceway for testing yesterday. GMG Racing will be entering their #8 and #14 Audi R8 LMS cars this year. The entry list currently lists the drivers for the #8 as: Alex Welch, James Sofronas, Alexandra Sabados, Drew Regitz and Michael McGrath. No drivers are currently listed for the #14 R8 LMS.

It is interesting to note that the #08 R8 LMS at the test was in the
FIA GT3 specification aerodynamic package, which differs from the package
required to be used on the Audis in the Pirelli World Challenge during 2012 and
2013. This FIA GT3 specification will be allowed in the Pirelli World Challenge from 2014 onward.
Three Audi race cars will be lining up on the 25 Hours of Thunderhill grid
this year, based on the current entry list. GMG Racing’s pair of R8 LMS cars
will be joined by the SP4T VLN Audi TT RS from Rotek Racing, with Robb Holland as the
only listed driver so far.
