The TSF Asia All Star Challenge is taking place at the Penbay International Circuit in Taiwan this weekend. Four Audi entries from J-Fly Racing have been entered and they are showing good pace so far.
J-Fly Racing, being run and prepared by Absolute Racing, is fielding four Audi R8 LMS entries this weekend. Their arsenal includes three older Audi R8 LMS cars in the GTM class and one Audi R8 LMS ultra in the GT3 class. All four entries are being fielded for the GT Master Cup.
The first car will be driven by the 2013 Audi R8 LMS Cup champion, Adderly Fong. The second car will have Carlo Van Dam and Benjamin Lee behind the wheel. The third car will be driven by Alex Chang and Evan Chen. The team’s Audi R8 LMS ultra will be driven by Jeffrey Lee alongside factory Audi driver, Rahel Frey.
Friday kicked off the official weekend proceedings with a GT Master Cup free practice session in the morning before the lunch break, followed by the official practice session later in the afternoon.
