Earl Bamber causes a sensation for Audi at the FIA GT World Cup in Macau

Audi Sport Asia will be represented by two Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo IIs at the FIA GT World Cup in Macau. Traditionally, the Asian branch of Audi Sport fields a wide-ranging line-up at this spectacular event through the streets of Macau. This year, two Audis will be on the starting grid.

Cadillac works driver Earl Bamber will, surprisingly, be competing for Audi! Bamber last raced in Macau in 2023 in a D2 Racing Team Porsche. This year, he will be competing in an Audi entered by Absolute Racing.

Following a strong performance last year, Joel Eriksson will be competing in Macau once again. Last year, the Swede finished fifth in the legendary race in an R8. As in the previous year, his Audi will be technically supported by Phantom Global Racing.

“We are confident that we have put together the best possible team to secure Audi’s fifth GT Cup title on the legendary streets of Macau,” said Alexander Blackie, Head of Audi Sport customer racing Asia. “With multiple 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Earl Bamber, we have a driver who still has a score to settle at the Guia Circuit. He’s been unlucky on several occasions, failing to win the race, and he has the talent to finally bring home the victory. Joel Eriksson was absolutely outstanding in the Audi R8 LMS last year and is raring to build on that performance. We can’t wait to line up on the grid at this year’s Macau Grand Prix.”
