Audi R8 LMS Cup To Debut in Shanghai, China

The Audi R8 LMS Cup will debut at the Shanghai International Circuit on coming 28-29 April 2012.

“With the Audi R8 LMS Cup, Audi transfers its leading role in China’s premium car market to the race track, and along with it all the glamour, excitement and emotion of this fantastic sport”, comments Director of Audi Sport customer racing China, Rene Koneberg.
