The Audi R8 LMS had a terrific unbeaten 2013 season in Sweden. Every single race was won by an Audi R8 LMS entry during this year and JB Motorsport's Jan Brunstedt was crowned as the Swedish GT champion.
The season review has been compiled from the 2013 Audi Motorsport Blog Weekend Round Up posts. Each round has been added as was seen in the individual Weekend Round Up posts during 2013, which can be accessed via the links throughout the review below:
Round 1: Knutstorp
Round one of the Swedish GT was held at Knutstorp, alongside the
new-look STCC. JB Motorsport have entered their Audi R8 LMS and performed very
well this weekend. A good tire strategy saw the team claim victory on the very
last lap of the race.
Round 2: Mantorp Park
JB Motorsport has remained unbeaten in Sweden so far this year. Round
two of the Swedish GT Championship was held at Mantorp Park. The #4 JB Audi R8
LMS was driven by Jan Brunstedt and Christer Lindholm. They claimed pole
position and a comfortable race victory. Jan Brunstedt remains the overall
championship leader.
Round 3: Göteborg
JB Motorsport arrived at Göteborg, round three of the Swedish GT
Championship, after having won the two opening rounds of the season. Jan
Brunstedt was once again behind the wheel of his R8 LMS this weekend and
qualified in third position. The race was wet and difficult, but despite this
Jan Brunstedt came home to take his third victory of the season, remaining
unbeaten so far in 2013.
Round 4: Anderstorp
Round four of the Swedish GT was held at Anderstorp. The JB Motorsport
team has continued their unbeaten winning streak with the #4 Audi R8 LMS. The
car driven by Jan Brunstedt and Christer Lindholm qualified on pole and won
both of the races. Brunstedt has been unbeaten in the Swedish GT so far this
year, extending his overall championship lead even further this weekend.
Round 5: Knutstorp
The Swedish GT Championship was at Knutstorp this weekend, the fifth
and penultimate meeting of the season. The JB Motorsport Audi R8 LMS was again
placed on pole position for the race. They backed up the pole by taking yet
another race victory, remaining unbeaten with six victories this year. Another
great result for the JB Motorsport team, with Jan Brunstedt already crowned as
champion and Christer Lindholm ever closer to clinching second place in the
championship.
Round 6: Mantorp Park
The 2013 Swedish GT Championship came to a close at round six held at
Mantorp Park. JB Motorsport had been unbeaten this year and they continued
their good form this weekend. Their Audi R8 LMS was again piloted by Jan
Brunstedt and Christer Lindholm. Only one Audi had been entered during the
Swedish GT season, but a second Audi team took part in the season finale. Alfab
Racing, who took part in the 2011 and 2012 Swedish GT seasons, entered their #7
Audi R8 LMS this weekend, driven by Erik Behrens and Daniel Roos. Qualifying
saw the Audis dominate at the front, as Alfab Racing took pole ahead of JB
Motorsport by just 0.246 seconds. The race itself saw Alfab Racing making it a
victorious comeback as Roos and Behrens took the checkered flag. Brunstedt and
Lindholm finished third in their #4 Audi R8 LMS. The Audi R8 LMS has been
unbeaten in Swedish GT this year, as all seven races were won by the Audi GT3
race car: Six wins from JB Motorsport and one from Alfab Racing.
