Robin Frijns second with Audi in Macau on making his debut

Audi Sport customer #racing achieved a result that ended the #fiagtworldcup on a positive note for the brand. Following four victories in #macau to date, title defender #audi had to admit defeat by only 0.618 seconds this year.

Once again, the tradition-steeped city street race in the Asian metropolis lived up to its reputation of being unpredictable because the narrow track does not forgive even the slightest driving mistake. In qualifying, #robinfrijns from #audi Sport Team WRT dropped to position 17 in the field of 20 entrants after having touched the track barrier. His teammate, Nico Müller, qualified for position five on the grid as the best #audi driver. In the qualification race on Saturday, a competitor with an accident caused a veritable chain reaction on the narrow and challenging circuit to which eleven of the following cars fell victim – including the four #audir8lms cars of Nico Müller from #audi Sport Team WRT, Markus Pommer from Team Aust Motorsport, and Lucas di Grassi and Fabian Plentz from HCB-Rutronik #racing. #robinfrijns was the only #audi driver to remain nearly unharmed, drove the fastest race lap following the restart and achieved position four. 

During the night from Saturday to Sunday, the teams in a joint effort repaired two of the four heavily damaged #audir8lms cars and put Frijns’ race car back into perfect condition as well.
