• One #audir8lms each from the Audi Sport Teams Car Collection and
Phoenix
• Five Audi Sport drivers in further private #audir8lms race cars
Neuburg a. d. Donau, April 20, 2022 – Audi Sport customer #racing is concentrating its efforts
on two teams in the sporting competition for the sixth overall victory at the Nürburgring 24
Hours. #audisportteamcarcollection and #audisportteamphoenix will each field an Audi R8
LMS on behalf of the brand from May 25 to 29. In addition, private GT3 race cars strengthen
the line-up.


“We’re well prepared for the anniversary of the classic race in the Eifel,” says #chrisreinke, Head
of Audi Sport customer #racing. “At the 50th edition, we’re facing the sporting competition for
victory with strong driver combinations, two Audi Sport customer #racing cars and additional
private R8 LMS cars. We want to expand our position as the most successful manufacturer of the
GT3 era in the world’s biggest race.” Audi has won the endurance race in 2012, 2014, 2015,
2017 and 2019.

In 2022, three former winners will share the cockpit with an up-and-coming talent in Audi Sport
Team Car Collection: #christopherhaase, winner in 2012 and 2014, #nicomuller, winner in 2015,
and René Rast, who finished first in 2014, will start the race with their Audi Sport colleague
Patric Niederhauser. He won a major endurance race with Audi for the first time last year at the
Indianapolis 8 Hour. In #audisportteamphoenix, three other winners share the cockpit: Kelvin
van der Linde (2017 winner), Dries Vanthoor (2019) and Frédéric Vervisch (2019) form a team
with Robin Frijns, who was third in the Eifel in 2017 and has already won two championship
titles with Audi. In addition, Scherer Sport by Phoenix will bring two more R8 LMS and Lionspeed
by Car Collection Motorsport will also field two additional Audi cars. With Mattia Drudi, Ricardo
Feller, Christopher Mies, Frank Stippler and Markus Winkelhock, no fewer than five additional
Audi Sport drivers and thus three former Nürburgring winners are spread across the private race
cars.
