Yesterday was the 2nd round of the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring. There were four factory backed Audi’s participating as well as five independent teams. There was a total of 147 rated cars that took part in the 4 hour race at the famous 16.123 mi combined circuit. It was a tough race for the factory Audi’s as they faced strong competition from the Porsche 911 GT3 Rs and BMW Z4s. Phoenix Racing was able to finish a respectable 5th place in one of the toughest racing series in the world. We look forward to seeing Audi progress in the series with the addition of the R8 LMS ultra in the future.
