01About the car

The Audi RS3 LMS is built to the TCR technical regulations, one of the most widely adopted standards in world motorsport. It joined the team in 2017 and has been the backbone of the competition programme ever since — first on the circuits of the FIA CEZ and TCR Eastern Europe, and today on European hill climbs. A welded roll cage, a paddle-shifted sequential gearbox and an aerodynamic package developed by Audi Sport make it a serious weapon in experienced hands.

02About the car

The Clio is a car you learn on. With no electronic aids to hide a mistake, low mass and a short wheelbase, it demands precision at every moment. For a young driver it is the fastest route to understanding what a car is actually doing underneath them — and a hill climb, where everything is decided in a single run, teaches that lesson every second of the way.
