Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Audi Sport celebrated a one-two win at the first U.S. event of the Intercontinental GT Challenge. At the #california 8 Hours, #pierrekaffer, #kelvinvanderlinde and #markuswinkelhock in the #audi R8 LMS from #audi Sport Team Magnus crossed the finish line with a 2.488-second advantage in front of the sister car from #audi Sport Team Land.

“Sincere congratulations to our winners, #pierrekaffer, #kelvinvanderlinde and #markuswinkelhock. Following #audi Sport’s victory in the second race, we’ve now also won the third round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge,” said Chris Reinke, Head of #audi Sport customer #racing. “With this latest triumph, we’re continuing a successful tradition on the legendary track at Laguna Seca where we’ve previously celebrated eight victories with the #audi R8 LMP sports car. Just one week after its victory in the Petit Le Mans race, our #audi #r8lmsgt sports car has won a second #endurance race in North America. Additionally, we have been successful in the 24-hour races at the Nürburgring and at Spa in this fantastic #endurance #racing season: an absolutely amazing track record.”

 

In the final stages, #kelvinvanderlinde reduced the gap to the leading #audi Sport Team Land R8 LMS and fought a gripping duel with Christopher Mies. Both #audi campaigners were often only separated by fractions of a second. 20 minutes before the end, van der Linde finally passed the German. Following his success in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, the young South African celebrated his second important #endurance #racing triumph with #audi Sport.
