It’s only been a month since Audi quattro GmbH revealed the Ultra version of the R8 LMS racer. Most recently, it’s been given the Grand-Am makeover for the Daytona 24 Hours endurance race and Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, and now the Germans have announced they will be taking on the 2012 FIA GT1 World Championship with the Ultra.
"We very much welcome the decision of the FIA World Motor Sport Council on December 7th in favour of the GT3 cars," said Werner Frowein, Managing Director of quattro GmbH.
"In the future, this vehicle class will not only stand for high-calibre national and European customer sport but also for the world’s pinnacle in GT racing. We are delighted that Team WRT has submitted its entry for the World Championship and will be representing the colours of Audi Sport customer racing," he added.
