Handover at Le Castellet

 

Audi Sport customer racing handed over an Audi R8 LMS GT2 to Stéphane Ratel at Le Castellet in November. The founder and CEO of the SRO Motorsports Group, which promotes GT racing worldwide, has created the GT2 category in 2019.


Now the Frenchman has personally purchased the most powerful sports car from the Audi Sport range with a power output of 640 hp. “I firmly believe that the GT2 concept has a big part to play in the future of racing,” said Ratel.



“It is the perfect platform for amateur drivers, drawing on the strengths of both GT3 and GT4 to produce an exciting and enjoyable on-track experience. I was very happy to see Audi become one of the first manufacturers to launch a GT2 model and, after taking the opportunity to test drive the car, I was convinced to purchase one myself.



This will help launch the new GT2 European Series, which will race next season as part of our enhanced GT Sports Club program. Just like its GT3 equivalent, I expect the Audi R8 LMS GT2 to be very popular with customers as the series develops.”
