Rob Austin Racing planning to enter Audis

By

Rob Austin Racing plans to step up to the BTCC with a pair of Audi A4s prepared to the new NGTC regulations in 2011.

BTCC.net confirms the team plans to enter two cars, which will be prepared by GPR Motorsport, who have already developed the template Toyota Avensis which will be used by Speedworks and Dynojet Racing next season.

GPR Motorsport’s owners have a background working with Audi, and this will be the first non Toyota Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) in the BTCC also developed by GPR Motorsport.

The team has released this artist’s impression, based on Audi Sport Italia’s Audi RS4 which has raced in the Italian SuperStars series.

The team hopes to have the car ready in early March, giving them a month to prepare before the first round at Brands Hatch on April 3rd.
