Two podium places for Audi customer teams in Australia
Two #audi Sport customer #racing teams celebrated hard-fought podium places in an unrelenting running of the Bathurst 12 Hours. Daniel Gaunt/Matt Halliday/Ash Samadi in the #audi #r8lms were the second-best Pro-Am driver squad in the field of ten marques, trailed by their #audi brand colleagues Marc Cini/Dean Fiore/Lee Holdsworth.
Several customers of the Melbourne Performance Centre finished Australia’s major #endurance race at Mount Panorama without any setbacks. In the Pro-Am classification for mixed driver line-ups, the two New Zealanders Daniel Gaunt and Matt Halliday together with the Australian Ash Samadi mounted the podium following an impeccable race. As the best #audi team to see the checkered flag, they achieved second place in class and seventh overall. In positions three in class and nine overall, Australians Marc Cini/Dean Fiore/Lee Holdsworth crossed the finish line, their #audi #r8lms having run impeccably as well. Simon Evans/James Koundouris/Theo Koundouris/Marcus Marshall achieved position eleven with Team Supabarn.
“Sincere congratulations to our customers on their success in class and the distance covered,” said Chris Reinke, Head of #audi Sport customer #racing. “Many major teams suffered severe setbacks today, but our privateer campaigners showed what they are capable of with the #audi #r8lms.”
