Ningbo/Neuburg a. d. Donau, September 30, 2018 – Audi Sport customer #racing continues its run of podium finishes at the seventh round of the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup in China. While the Belgian #fredericvervisch from Audi Sport Team Comtoyou climbed the podium for the fifth time this year, his countryman and team mate #denisdupont held a trophy aloft for the first time. In second qualifying, he was sixth and, for the first time, the best of the six Audi RS 3 LMS drivers.
The seventh of ten events was characterized by many bright spells, but also a few long shadows. In the three races, four different Audi drivers – #fredericvervisch, #denisdupont and the two Frenchmen Nathanaël Berthon and Aurélien Panis – scored points in China for the Belgian squad Comtoyou #racing. In contrast, Jean-Karl Vernay and Gordon Shedden from Audi Sport Leopard Lukoil Team scored no points for the first time.
In first qualifying, Vervisch took second place to equal his previous best qualifying performance recorded at the Nürburgring. In race one, the Belgian took third place to scoop his fifth trophy of the year. #denisdupont finished the turbulent second race as best Audi driver after producing a flawless drive on the way to fourth place. Since his Audi RS 3 LMS remained undamaged, he also had a good chance of success in race three by starting from sixth place.
