By Johan Laubscher

It has been revealed that YACO Racing will be returning to the 2014 ADAC GT Masters with their Audi R8 LMS ultra.

YACO Racing will again be fielding a single Audi R8 LMS ultra in the 2014 ADAC GT Masters. Their lead driver from 2013, Philip Geipel, has already been confirmed for next year, with the second driver yet to be announced.

The YACO Racing team switched to the Audi Sport customer racing family during 2013 and fielded their one Audi R8 LMS ultra as a regular entry in the ADAC GT Masters. Their R8 LMS ultra was driven by Philip Geipel, who was joined by four different co-drivers during the season. His co-drovers included: Christian Mamerow, Dino Lunardi, Filip Sladecka and Frank Schmickler.

The team also fielded their R8 LMS ultra at the 2013 Slovak Republic Grand Prix (Veľká cena Slovenskej republiky - VCSR). The event was held at the Slovakia Ring in August and Filip Sladecka was behind the wheel of the Audi.

THE BOSS YACO Racing, YACO Racing’s entry name in the 2013 ADAC GT Masters, finished eleventh in the teams' standings and their leading driver, Philip Geipel, placed twenty-ninth within the drivers' standings.

It is great news to hear that YACO Racing will be back with Audi in 2014.
