ADT/Champion Racing - Road America Preview
 

21 Aug - Round 6 is staged at Road America, Elkhart Lake, on Sunday with Team ADT Champin Racing needing to bounce back after last Sunday's Mosport disappointment

 

Brad Kettler, Team ADT Champion Racing’s Technical Director, is relishing the challenge the high-speed Road America circuit is likely to pose this weekend.

 

The ultra-fast four-mile track in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, made its American Le Mans Series début last July and witnessed an Audi podium sweep, with R8s filling the top-three positions.

 

The ADT Champion Audi of Johnny Herbert and Stefan Johansson finished third in last year’s 472-mile (4hr 15mins) race and while this year’s event on Sunday is the regular duration of 165-minutes, Kettler is confident.

 

Brad commented:  “Road America is one of my favorite tracks in the United States.  Its high speed and heavy braking zones will be well suited to the ADT Audi R8.  Especially after last Sunday’s disappointment at Mosport, our team’s resolve is sure to be at it highest level to score well at this beautiful track.”
