Melbourne Performance Centre was out testing at Phillip Island on
Tuesday. The Audi R8 LMS ultra of Fitzgerald Racing Services, run by MPC, was
among the cars testing.
On Monday it was announced that Peter Fitzgerald and Michael Almond will be debuting the Audi R8 LMS ultra at the finale of the Australian GT Championship,
which will be taking place at Highlands Motorsport Park in New Zealand from 8-9
November. They will then be heading to the 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour and will also
contest the 2015 Australian GT Championship.
This Audi R8 LMS ultra arrived in Australia a few months ago and was
used as an Audi driving experience vehicle and raced at one round of the
Victorian State Circuit Racing Championships before its acquisition to contest
the Australian GT Championship. It is the same car that was used by äpr racing
in the Japanese Super GT during 2012 and half of 2013.
