Service History
In 2009, Audi entered the world of GT3 racing with their all new R8 LMS. Over the prior decade, Audi had dominated the top level of sports car racing with multiple overall wins at the 24 Hours of LeMans. Using the name of their successful LeMans challenger, the R8 street car was shown to the world in 2006 with jaw-dropping looks and a lovely 4.2L V8 as the power plant. By 2009, Audi was ready to up the game and did so by adding the Lamborghini-derived 5.2L V10 as an option. Along with the enhanced street car, Audi used their space frame chassis as the platform for their new international GT3 challenger.
The R8 LMS was competitive right away, securing podium finishes and pole positions in numerous international races. The first major win for the R8 came in the 2011 12 Hours of Bathurst as this was the first of many endurance classic victories. In 2012, the LMS received significant updates including lightweight carbon fiber doors, an upgraded transmission, a 70-horsepower increase, upgraded aerodynamics, and a plethora of enhanced suspension related items. These upgrades paid off instantly as Audi claimed victory in two endurance crown jewels with first overall in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring and the 24 Hours of Spa. Over the next few years, the R8 LMS Ultra made a substantial footprint in GT3-based racing including in the USA.
This particular R8 was built in 2011 and was later upgraded to 2015 Ultra specs. The owner of GMG Racing, James Sofronas, purchased the car so he could compete in the Pirelli World Challenge in the GT class.
