The Audi Motorsport teams are preparing for round three of the Bridgestone Production Car Championship, which will take place at Killarney (Cape Town) on 9 May 2009.

The teams, competing with Audi A4 3.2 litre Quattro models will be looking to continue where they left off at Kyalami four weeks ago. Between the four drivers, Audi achieved a pole position, three podium finishes and the fastest lap.

Johan Fourie (IndyOil) had a solid outing at Kyalami, setting the fastest lap in qualifying and taking third place in the first race. Johan is Cape Town based and will be the crowd favourite at Killarney.

After a tough start to the race weekend at Kyalami, Shaun Watson-Smith (Engen Xtreme) drove the wheels off his Audi to take a podium finish. He has been exceptionally fast at Killarney in the past and is expected to be out in front.

Melvill Priest (VMP Motorsport) put in a sterling performance at Kyalami, finishing second and setting the fastest lap in the second race of the day. Melvill will be hoping to repeat this feat at Killarney.

Perhaps the most determined of the Audi drivers is Michael Stephen (Engen Xtreme). He will be looking to bounce back from a disastrous Kyalami weekend. He will, together with teammate Shaun Watson-Smith, be the lightest of the Audi challengers and will be a definite front-runner.

The Western Cape circuit is traditionally a Nissan stronghold and suits the 350Z’s chassis. That being said, Audi won three of the four races run at Killarney in 2008 and will be looking to continue this winning trend in 2009. Practice sessions will take place on Friday 8 May, with qualifying and both races being run on Saturday 9 May.
