Audi Sport Spa 24 factory liveries


By Tarek Ramchani

Audi won the Spa 24 Hours outright last year with the Audi R8 LMS. This weekend the Ingolstadt brand will try to defend its title with four officially entered Audi R8 LMS ultra cars. Two cars from Audi Sport Team Phoenix and two from Audi Sport Team WRT. Audi could make history as well by winning the three major 24 hour races in Europe in the same year: The Nürbrugring, Le Mans and Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hour races. The race itself is not only prestigious but it is also round 4 of the Blancpain Endurance Series, where only Team WRT compete on a full season basis. Here are the official liveries of the four Audi cars.

Audi Sport Team WRT:

#1 Audi Sport Team WRT: Christopher Haase, Christopher Mies and Stephane Ortelli
#2 Audi Sport Team WRT: Edward Sandstrom, Laurens Vanthoor and Marco Bonanomi

Audi Sport Team Phoenix:

#6 Audi Sport Team Phoenix: Andre Lottere, Marcel Fassler and Tom Kristensen
#16 Audi Performance Cars Team Phoenix: Andrea Piccini, Frank Stippler and Rene Rast
