Having recently reached his 100th win in international motorsport, Audi R8 eventually seek to add to that figure on American soil. Audi has announced that the 2012 season racing R8 LMS is certified to comply with the Grand am race series resistance, with all the R8 to make its debut on the 50th anniversary of the race of 24 Hours of Daytona January 28.
Audi will not run an official factory team, but new cars are offered to client computers. These teams, however, received significant support with Audi Sport team to send a check for the entire 2012 season.
In response to the Grand Am rules R8 LMS-roll bars more often, a new front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler and a custom set specific Grand Am Engine power is limited (between the 450-HP 470-hp) , with changes in the fuel tank. Drivers used to compete in Europe, will certainly have his hands full of a new car because the car Euro-spec traction control is not allowed in the Grand-Am.
"We believe we are a very attractive offer for our customers in the United States will meet with great response," said Romulo Liebchen, race director of quattro GmbH customers. "The anniversary of the 24 Hours of Daytona is a perfect opportunity for the start of the American version of the new Audi R8 LMS."
