United Autosports's Audi R8 LMS Finishes 3rd at Gulf 12 Hours

By Tarek Ramchani : 

The Anglo-American United Autosports got a brilliant 3rd overall at the first edition of Gulf 12 Hours race at Yas Marina, as the Audi R8 LMS #5 driven by Ryan Dalziel and Venezuelan pair, Enzo Potolicchio and Alex Popow fought to the finish line for the outright victory, and was even leading with some 20 minutes to go. The race itself was run in 2 seperates heats of 6 hours each, in the end a 3rd spot behind 2 Ferrari 458 GT3 from AF Corse and Kessel Racing, very well done after a disappointing Dubai 24 Hours race. 

Next stop for the team will be the 12 Hours of Bathurst, a challenging eduro event at Mount Panorama, where Phoenix Racing is also set to field 2 factory supported Audi R8 LMSs.
