Audi Sport customer racing has gained a prominent new customer.



In the third year of its career in GT sport, the race team of nine-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb relies on the Audi R8 LMS ultra for the first time.


With his privateer team ‘Sébastien Loeb Racing’ (SLR) the Frenchman finished the French GT Championship and the FIA GT Series as the overall runner-up last year.


For 2014, Loeb has again planned an extensive GT program and is taking two cars for it.
