Two victories at #hockenheim: The Audi R8 LMS GT2, the most powerful model in the Audi Sport customer #racing line-up with 470 kW (640 hp), continued its winning streak in the new #gt2europeanseries with two more victories. In changeable conditions at the Hockenheimring, the good strategy of the High Class #racing team proved to be a decisive factor: #markpatterson, who had started the race from fourth position in the #33 Audi R8 LMS GT2, defended his position until the pit stop. After changing to slicks, teammate #andersfjordbach made up ground on the competition, moving from third to first within one lap, and won by 55.7 seconds. In the second race, the High Class #racing duo scored their third win in four races and extended their lead in the Pro-Am standings to 23 points. Two more Audi customer teams celebrated podium finishes with the Audi R8 LMS GT2 at #hockenheim: In the first race, Peter Guelinckx and Bert Longin from the PK Carsport team finished third, while in the second round, Stéphane Ratel and Luca Pirri took second place in LP Racing’s R8 LMS GT2.

Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer #racing, handed over the new safety cars, the leading car and vehicles for the race management.
