Audi R8 LMS Cup & GT Asia: 2014 season to open in Yeongam, South Korea

В свете печальных событий в Южной Корее с затонувшим паромом, а также в связи с рядом нерешенных административных вопросов, открытие сезона 2014 г. гоночной серии Ауди R8 Кубок Ле Мана отложено до 17-18 мая и состоится вместо Инчже Спидиум (Канвондо) на полигоне Ф1 в Йонаме (Южная Чхолла).

With the addition of Yeongam, the 2014 race calendar now includes four Asian Formula One tracks. South Korea will be represented by You Kyong-Ouk (1980 y.b) who's performing at Audi R8 LMS Cup since 2012.

The Audi R8 LMS Cup was founded in 2012 as Audi’s first ever brand cup worldwide. The 2014 season comprises twelve races over six race weekends. The sprint race series will visit Formula One tracks in South Korea (Yeongam), Japan (Fuji), Malaysia (Sepang) and China (Shanghai). How to go there: https://www.facebook.com/events/670752956331845

A street race in South China’s Guangzhou is also included in the calendar, where the cup supports the German Touring Car Championship (DTM). The Cup will perform twice in Shanghai, with the Volkswagen Group Sports Car Champions Festival (SCCF) and then alongside the World Endurance Championship (WEC).     The 2014 season opener was originally planned to be held at South Korea's Inje. Due to operational uncertainties at Inje, the first race weekend has now been moved to Yeongam.
