This is a part of Aditya’s preparation for the 7th VLN endurance race; the 6 hour ADAC Ruhr-Pokal-Rennen to be held on the 4th of August, 2012. Since 1997 till date, the race is held in the famous Nürburgring motorsports complex around the village of Nürburg, Germany. Averages of over 150 touring cars compete in the VLN series. This year Audi India talent Aditya Patel is going to race in the Audi R8 LMS Ultra at the VLN endurance race. Aditya will also have the unique opportunity to partner with the triple Le Mans winner Marco Werner for this race. The mixture of the Audi motorsport legend and Aditya for the first time is yet another milestone in the young racer’s career. Aditya Patel is also an instructor with the Audi sports car experience in India.
“All I see before my eyes now is the starting line at the Nürburgring. That is my level of excitement. The testing was successful, the car is a superb piece of technology and combined with the expert partnership of the legendary Marco Werner, I am very confident about our capabilities in finishing the race. The Audi R8 LMS Ultra is powerful, has fantastic balance, is extremely stable around the corners and drives like none other on the track”, says Aditya. The Audi R8 LMS Ultra boasts of several technical and structural modifications in comparison to its predecessor. It is 40 kgs lighter, with over 500 Nm of torque, finer aerodynamics, wider front wheels and better brake cooling. The Audi R8 LMS Ultra also clocked the brand’s first ever victory at the 24 hours of Nürburgring earlier this year in May, finishing first and second in stunning fashion. We wish them all the best for the 7th VLN endurance race as well.
