SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 4, 2025 – Audi fans across Europe have a lot to cheer for this summer. From the thundering engines of GT3 and GT4 to the tightly contested battles in TCR Europe, Audi Sport customer teams are not just showing up — they’re dominating the leaderboard. And as the season reaches its halfway mark, it's clear: Audi’s customer racing program is delivering thrilling results and memorable milestones.
Eastalent Racing: A First Win That Changes Everything
For Austrian-based Eastalent Racing, the 2025 International GT Open has been a season of steady progress. But now, they've taken it up a gear. With drivers Christopher Haase and Simon Reicher behind the wheel of the Audi R8 LMS, the team finally clinched its first victory of the season, a breakthrough that now sees them leading the overall standings in GT3.
What makes this especially exciting for fans is the human story behind the performance. Eastalent may be competing against factory-backed juggernauts, but this is a privateer team with big ambition and bigger heart. Their recent triumph isn't just a win on the track — it's a symbol of what’s possible when skill, passion, and teamwork collide.
Speedcar Keeps the Momentum in GT4
Over in the GT4 European Series, another Audi customer team is making headlines. Team Speedcar continues to widen its gap at the top of the standings, proving that consistency is just as valuable as speed. Their domination is a testament to Audi’s GT4 platform, which has found a sweet spot between performance, reliability, and accessibility for up-and-coming racers.
If you’re new to GT4, think of it as the bridge between amateur racing and the pro leagues — and Audi is currently building that bridge better than anyone else.
TCR Europe: A Family Rivalry with Audi at Its Heart
In the world of TCR Europe — where high-stakes touring car battles unfold on circuits from Monza to Barcelona — a new leader has emerged, and he’s keeping it in the family. Teddy Clairet, piloting the Audi RS 3 LMS, has taken over the lead from his brother. Yes, you read that right — two brothers, both racing Audis, both gunning for the top spot.
This sibling showdown brings an emotional edge to the championship. Whether you’re team Teddy or cheering for his brother, it’s Audi that’s the real winner here. The RS 3 LMS continues to prove its mettle on the continent’s toughest tracks, offering both seasoned pros and talented newcomers a competitive edge.
Audi Enters the Hall of Fame at Spa 24 Hours
And just when you think Audi's racing season couldn’t get more impressive, the brand was honored at the Spa 24 Hours with a Hall of Fame induction — a nod to its long-standing legacy in endurance racing and consistent presence at one of motorsport’s most grueling events.
It’s a reminder that while 2025 is shaping up to be a great year, Audi’s legacy has been built on decades of pushing limits — and it’s far from done.
Why This Racing Season Matters for Everyday Drivers
This wave of success isn’t just for motorsport fans. It matters for drivers who’ll never hit a racetrack. Why? Because Audi’s customer racing program is where the brand tests, refines, and proves technologies that eventually influence road cars.
