A race winner already in the top-tier FIA WTCR, Audi’s latest challenger features a steering wheel control panel and keypad beside the driver to improve ergonomics, enhanced safety through the addition of a protection seat, six-point harness, roof hatch and pedal box.

Hanson’s number one mechanic Cliff Campbell shows off the key features on what is the only example currently in the southern hemisphere and the first to win a race in a domestic series.
