Saintéloc will represent Audi Sport at the 12 Hours of Abu Dhabi

The links between Saintéloc Racing and Audi Sport are still relevant today. The German brand has in fact decided to trust the Saint-Etienne structure to operate one of these Audi R8 LMS GT3s registered in the Pro category for the final of the Intercontinental GT Challenge in Abu Dhabi.

In the Emirates, the No. 8 Audi R3 LMS GT25 will be entrusted to official drivers Patric Niederhauser and Christopher Haase. The duo will be supported by Saintéloc Racing representative Erwan Bastard.

« It’s a bit of a logical next step after racing in GT4 this year. Going to Abu Dhabi offers me a good opportunity, said Erwan Bastard. The field will be substantial and I am lucky to be able to evolve with Patric Niederhauser and Christopher Haase. Two choice teammates. I will clearly learn a lot and it will be very useful to prepare for 2023. The philosophy of the car remains somewhat the same: it is an Audi R8 LMS. But as soon as you pick up speed, the GT3's aero takes over and that's where you see the real difference.."
