From Audi Motorsport press release
The Audi driving experience is expanding its portfolio by offering an opportunity that is unique in the world.
Effective immediately, Audi customers with sporting ambitions can book exclusive racing commitments with the Audi R8 LMS GT3.
The Audi R8 LMS that has been specifically developed for use in customer sport and was the GT3 car to be beaten last year right in its first racing season provides the base for the new Audi race experience.
In addition, as many as 120 customers had the opportunity of an active driving experience with the mid-engine sports car at the end of October 2009 during the Audi Sportscar Experience.
The Audi race experience now marks the next stage. It offers customers the opportunity to contest races with the Audi R8 LMS themselves – on request even together with professional race drivers. The R8s will be prepared and fielded by the Joest team.
The Audi race experience team Joest is planning a total of six races for the 2010 season, fielding two cars each as part of the "Langstreckenmeisterschaft" (VLN) on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, starting with the race on April 24.
Audi indicates that customers will be trained and can also obtain the required racing license.
