Audi South Africa Press Release
Audi South Africa takes to the starting grid of the 2014 Bridgestone
Production Car season at round one of the national Super Series at Zwartkops on
Saturday, March 1. Four top level competitors will be in action behind the
wheel of their Audi S4 quattros.
Defending champion Michael Stephen will be aiming to start the season
strong – mounting a challenge for a fourth title at the same time. Stephen will
be piloting one of two Engen Xtreme Audi S4 quattros, the other will be under
the control of teammate Simon Moss who debuts in the production car series this
season.
Moss faces a steep learning curve in this formula, but has proved he
can keep up when the pace gets hot and can draw from both local and
international experience in karts, single-seaters and the Engen Volkswagen Cup
which he contested last year.
Gennaro Bonafede returns to the championship this season behind the
wheel of his Audi S4 quattro which will run under Audi Sasolracing colours.
Bonafede put in a good performance last season and will be on a charge for a
championship this year. Starting off the year with a podium finish will be high
on his list of priorities.
Another racer new to the Audi S4 quattro this season is no stranger to
the production car series. Hennie Groenewald will round out the quartet of Audi
entries this season, bringing his considerable talent and determination to the
brand.
Groenewald is no stranger to the Bridgestone Production Car series and
with Audi's proven track record and performance, 2014 could be his year to
shine.
All four racers will be working to defend Audi's Manufacturer Title of
2013.
