New book describes the Audi R8 LMS story on 256 pages
The Audi R8 LMS has won more than 100 races and numerous championships during its first three years in competition. You can now read about the R8 LMS in “Audi Sport customer racing 2009, 2010, 2011”, the official book covering the AUDI AG customer racing program. 
Author Thomas Voigt details the development of the GT3 sports car and the creation of Audi’s customer racing program on 256 colorful pages. The customer program is Audi’s third element in motorsport alongside the factory programs with the sports prototypes and the touring cars.
Several “eyewitnesses” including development driver Frank Biela and Romolo Liebchen, Head of Audi Sport customer racing, also recount their experiences. Werner Frowein, Managing Director of quattro GmbH, wrote the foreword.
More than 700 photographs reveal the world of Audi customer racing including an overview of the development of the Audi R8 LMS in its first three years of competition. The Audi TT RS is also covered in detail. A comprehensive statistic chapter including all the results from 2009, 2010 and 2011 completes the volume created in close cooperation with quattro GmbH.
“Audi Sport customer racing” is planned to be published as an annual at the end of each season, designed to become an essential collector’s item for fans of both the Audi R8 LMS and Audi customer racing fans. It continues the series of successful Audi motorsport books. The German version of the book “30 years of Audi Sport” published in 2010 is already sold out.
“Audi Sport customer racing 2009, 2010, 2011” is published in bilingual format (German/English) by the Hamburg Speedpool Verlag and is now available to purchase for 29.90 Euro at specialist bookshops or online at www.racing1.de.
