Audi RS 3 LMS (TCR)

Dominant weekend: The Audi privateers dominated the Coppa Italia Turismo on the fourth race weekend with five of six possible podium results. The first sprint at Vallelunga was won by Gabriele Volpato from Team BF Motorsport with a lead of more than 15 seconds ahead of Turgut Konukoglu from Bitci Racing and Sandro Pelatti from Aikoa Racing. All three drivers, as well as eight other contenders in a field of 30 cars, relied on the Audi RS 3 LMS. Gabriele Volpato remained unbeaten in the second race as well. He was eight seconds faster than pursuer Sandro Pelatti.

A decent end to the season: In the TCR Eastern Europe finale, Bartosz Groszek was the best of four Audi drivers in the field. The Pole clinched third position in the first sprint race at Brno in the Audi RS 3 LMS fielded by Aditis Racing.

Trophy for Jac Constable: The Rob Boston Racing team was again the best Audi customer squad at the sixth round of the TCR UK. Jac Constable defended third place in the first race at Donington in the Audi RS 3 LMS with a 196 thousandths of a second advantage over his pursuer.

Three trophies in Australia: Will Brown managed a strong recovery in the first race on the fifth race weekend of TCR Australia. The Australian had started the first race in tenth place in his MPC Team Liqui Moly Audi RS 3 LMS. On the Sandown circuit, he had already worked his way up to fifth place by the second lap.
