TUSC: GMG Racing poised for 2014 TUSC with Audi R8 LMS


By Johan Laubscher

GMG Racing had been mentioned as possible 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship entrants and today the news broke that they will be fielding at least one Audi R8 LMS next year.

GMG Racing has been a leading Audi team in North America, fielding multiple cars in the Pirelli World Challenge. News has emerged that GMG Racing will be entering a new program in 2014, continuing their relationship with Audi Sport customer racing.

Both Racer.com and Sportscar365.com have reported that GMG Racing has entered an Audi R8 LMS for 2014. They will be competing in the ever-growing GT Daytona (GTD) class.

The GMG Racing Audi R8 LMS will be driven by Alex Welch and James Sofronas, with more drivers yet to be confirmed. The full details of the program have not yet been announced, but more information regarding the project and their participation/entry, will be announced by the team.

GMG Racing will be joining three other Audi teams who have already committed to the 2014 TUSC season. Those teams include Flying Lizard Motorsports’ two car entry, along with single car entries from both Fall-Line Motorsports and Paul Miller Racing.

It is great to see the TUSC Audi Sport customer racing family continuing to expand, especially with an existing Audi team as strong as GMG Racing.
