BTCC: Rob Austin Racing tested the Audi A4 NGTC at Oulton Park


By Tarek Ramchani

Rob Austin Racing has had a great start this year. After successful test days at Silverstone, the Audi team was at Oulton Park for further tests this week, preparing Sherman, their Audi A4 NGTC, for the 2014 BTCC season.

The Audi A4 NGTC is a race winning machine in the demanding British Touring Car Championship. In 2013 Rob Austin took a sensational race victory at Rockingham and weeks earlier a fine pole position at Knockhill in Scotland, with a fully privateer team and effort.

The Silverstone and Oulton Park tests will help the team improve an already strong car. At the moment only Rob Austin has been confirmed as the first driver of the Exocet Racing backed Audi, the name of the second driver will be unveiled soon.
