Audi customer team competes in the 2023 Kumho TCR World Tour with the Audi RS 3 LMS

  • Audi Sport Team Comtoyou with two #audirs3lms cars in new global #racing series
  • Audi Sport driver #fredericvervisch and Rob Huff with a wealth of experience

With 29 overall titles and 72 additional class titles since 2017, the #audirs3lms is one of the most successful models in the Audi Sport customer #racing program. The touring car won the worldwide “TCR Model of the Year” award three times alone. In the past five years, the entry-level touring car has been a permanent fixture in the top field with 17 individual victories in the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup. Now, a new global series for TCR race cars will follow in 2023 with the Kumho TCR World Tour. Audi Sport Team Comtoyou team will contest this competition with two #audirs3lms cars for a top-class driver line-up.

“We are delighted that Jean-Michel Baert and his team are once again doing pioneering work and will be involved in the new Kumho TCR World Tour from day one, just as he did in the FIA WTCR back then,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer #racing. “For this purpose, we are making our experienced touring and sports car driver #fredericvervisch available to him, who knows the team very well. With Rob Huff, Comtoyou #racing has signed a second absolutely accomplished and strong touring car expert. We keep our fingers crossed for the whole team.” In the Kumho TCR World Tour, competitors will race for the Kumho TCR World Cup in the drivers’ and team standings. Two qualifying sessions and two sprint races – three sprints at the events in Australia – are on the schedule for each of the nine race weekends.
