Audi Sport’s customers and their rivals in the Thailand Super Series entered unfamiliar territory. On the third race weekend, which however does not count towards the championship classification, the drivers competed in the support program of the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix for the first time.


Andrew Haryanto scored a fine victory in the first race. The Indonesian had secured seventh place on the grid in qualifying on a dry track. Tropical rain fell before the first sprint but quickly subsided. Haryanto had managed a strong start in the Audi R8 LMS of Audi Sport Asia Team Absolute on rain tires.


As a result, he gained three positions. Subsequently, he stormed past his teammate Yasser Shahin who had relied on slicks. After leaving two other opponents behind, Haryanto led the field until the safety car came onto the track six minutes before the end of the race.



He didn’t let that bother him either, then found his rhythm again and won by 5.1 seconds. As the best Am driver, he left two professionals behind him in the battle for the podium places. In the second race, the Indonesian started from first place, but a battle for positions quickly broke out in the leading group, in which he dropped back to fourth place.



Yasser Shahin, who started from position three, also initially lost two positions but overtook several rivals again and crossed the finish line in second place. After Harayanto had improved again as well, he completed the podium for Audi Sport Asia Team Absolute in third place. The two Audi drivers were the best Am contenders in the field of 22 competitors.
