SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 4, 2025 – It was a dream weekend for Audi racing fans across the globe, as Audi Sport customer teams clinched multiple wins in Australia and Asia, continuing their thrilling run of form on international circuits. The Audi R8 LMS and RS 3 LMS proved once again that when passion meets engineering precision, the results are hard to ignore — whether you're trackside in Melbourne or watching from your living room in Munich.
A Winning Weekend in Australia and Asia
Customer teams piloting the Audi R8 LMS had plenty to celebrate after back-to-back victories in the GT World Challenge Australia and Asia. Team MPC's #888 entry — driven by Broc Feeney and Brad Schumacher — led the charge in Australia, where the iconic GT3 racer’s performance shone brightly. At the same time, teams in Asia added more silverware to the Audi cabinet, further boosting the R8’s reputation as a dominant force in customer racing.
Not to be outdone, the Audi RS 3 LMS held its ground in Europe, continuing a winning streak that reinforces its status as a reliable, high-performance touring car. For racing enthusiasts, this cross-continental success is more than just a statistic — it’s a celebration of endurance, engineering, and edge-of-your-seat excitement.
Why This Matters for Everyday Audi Lovers
You might not be suiting up for a GT World Challenge yourself, but these victories have real-world resonance for Audi fans and drivers. The same technology, aerodynamic principles, and lightweight materials that help the R8 LMS conquer corners at high speed influence the design of road-going Audi models.
This racing DNA — precision handling, responsive engines, and durability — is what makes driving an Audi feel elevated, whether you’re heading to work or the mountains.
From Circuit to Curb: How Racing Wins Reflect in Daily Driving
The race-tested R8 LMS GT3 is no ordinary track car. It shares design heritage with the street-legal Audi R8 V10 performance quattro — a car revered for its aggressive styling, thunderous acceleration, and precision cornering.
Here’s how the GT3 legacy echoes into everyday models:
- Audi R8 LMS → Audi R8 V10 performance: Same mid-engine layout, razor-sharp handling.
- RS 3 LMS → Audi RS 3 Sedan/Sportback: Power-packed compact with race-inspired torque.
- Customer racing feedback → Audi Sport: Each race yields real-world data that shapes future road cars.

From weekend warriors to semi-pro racers, the GT4 variant offers a more accessible yet serious introduction to the world of racing.
