Team WRT and Comtoyou Racing to run Audi cars

Two teams will represent Audi Sport customer racing in the new WTCR: Comtoyou Racing and Team WRT, for a total of six Audi RS3 LMS cars.
Team WRT – one of the most successful Audi customer teams in GT3 racing since 2010 – will prepare two cars for the triple British Touring Car champion Gordon Shedden and the 2017 TCR International Series champion Jean-Karl Vernay. Both drivers are awarded Audi Sport driver status.
Comtoyou Racing will field four cars for Frédéric Vervisch – an Audi Sport driver as well – Aurélien Panis, Denis Dupont and Nathanaël Berton, the 2016/17 champion in the Trophée Andros ice racing series.

“We look forward to the strong competition in the new series, which is an attractive stage for many manufacturers in touring car racing,”said Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “Our teams and drivers bring valuable experiences from touring car racing and other disciplines to the grid, so we intend to battle for the titles in the drivers’ and teams’ classifications.”
