PWC Team C360R Expands Audi Racing Program With New GTS Class Entry
Image
Longtime Pirelli World Challenge team C360R (Compass360 Racing) recently announced further
expansion of its Audi racing program to include an Audi TT-RS in the series’ GTS class.
The new No. 78 car will be helmed by current C360R driver Paul Holton, with support from partners AERO Advanced Paint Technology, Spyder apparel and Audi Sport customer racing. As they have for the past five years, the team and driver will fly the colors of their charity of choice, the Children’s Tumor Foundation.
The move to GTS builds on the team’s growing relationship with Audi, which officially started on track at Sebring, Florida, in March with the launch of their new CTSC ST-class Audi S3 program, and expanded with the recently debuted Audi R8 LMS in the TUDOR United Sports Car Championship. The TT-RS will first compete at the penultimate race of the 2015 World Challenge season, at Sonoma Raceway August 29-30, and will also be at the season finale at Laguna Seca.
034 Motorsport will serve as technical partners for the program, with the 034 shop in Fremont, California, serving as home base for the two final West Coast rounds and Christian Miller being tapped to lead the squad.
Like the team’s other Audis, the new TT-RS will be clothed in a livery featuring AERO paint. No. 78 will carry the Children’s Tumor Foundation logo, and will serve as one of the featured cars on the charity’s paddock tour at each race.
While the team begins testing the new TT-RS in the coming weeks in advance of its first race, the team will continue to field its championship-winning Honda Civic Si’s in TCA, with the next race being at Mid-Ohio on August 15-16.
