Audi was left without a win at Silverstone

Audi was left without a win after a roadworthiness test after a 6-hour race in Silverstone, as commissioners measured excessive wear on the sliding pads at the bottom of their car. Commissioners' measurements showed that the plates on the Audi R18 with number 7, driven by Andre Lotterer, Beniot Treluyer and Marcel Fassler, were 20 millimeters outside the permitted tolerance, so disqualification followed after the season's debut.

But okay, let’s take advantage of what we can! This time as well, as last year, the second match of the Drift Power Cup will take place in Logatec on the most well-known polygon, which will be slightly changed this time. You will be able to see more on Sunday, September 22, starting at 9 p.m. Course of the event:
