TruSpeed AutoSport, a previous race and championship-winning program, is set to return with a new brand, new drivers and new marketing partners in the upcoming Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) season. TruSpeed AutoSport will run a pair of Audi GT3 R8s (pictured).
“We have been hard at work for the past three months securing equipment and the proper personnel to put together a winning program from the very first event onwards. While our driver lineup and official team name are set to be announced in the very near future, I can officially say that we will house a pair of former Stevenson Racing Audi R8 GT3 machines and compete in the PWC Sprint and SprintX programs in 2018,” Owner of TruSpeed AutoSport Tyler Tadevic said.
As former GT champions, the TruSpeed AutoSport brand will return to GT competition in 2018 under the leadership of founder and former owner Rob Morgan.
In related news, Flying Lizard Motorsports announced the return to the PWC in 2018 for its second season of competition in the GTS class. For the first time since 2014, the team will field two full season Audi R8 LMS GT4 entries, driven by Mike Hedlund and Adam Merzon. Ryan Eversley will join Merzon in the Case-it Racing by Flying Lizard Motorsports entry for the five SprintX race weekends.
Flying Lizard Motorsports first raced the Audi R8 LMS in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, finishing second in the team’s first race of the season, the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The team will retain the same crew from 2017, bringing with them existing knowledge of and experience with the Audi R8 LMS.
