By Tarek Ramchani

Curitiba hosted the second round of the Brazilian GT, also known as the Portal GT Series. A single Audi R8 LMS ultra (2012 specification) entered the event with great performances and results.

Ebrahim Motors is the only Audi team in this South American SRO run championship. Their #20 silver and red Audi R8 LMS ultra is supported by Audi Brazil. As usual the car was shared by the two regular drivers: Wagner and Fabio Ebrahim. The two brothers performed very well all weekend long. After good qualifying sessions, the team finished in a strong second place in race 1 on Saturday, behind a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Race 2 on Sunday was even better, a maiden win this season for Wagner and Fabio Ebrahim. The #20 Audi R8 LMS ultra finished first ahead of the race 1 winning Lamborghni Gallardo. The two cars battled hard for the race win. In in the end the Audi car crossed the finish line victorious, winning by a very narrow lead of just 0,296 ahead of the Lamborghini. This victory for the Ebrahim brothers follows on from strong performances last time out at São Paulo.

The next round of the Brazilian GT will be at the Autódromo Internacional de Tarumã, July 28th.

Brazilian GT: Audi Top Service Ebrahim Motors ready for round 1 at São Paulo

By Tarek Ramchani

The 2013 Brazilain GT Championship will kick off this weekend at São Paulo. A single Audi R8 LMS ultra will take part in the event, with support from Audi Brazil.

Ebrahim Motors has raced with the Audi R8 LMS in the last two season of the Brazilian GT Championship. Strong performances from the privateer team, but also very bad luck many times as well. The team updated their car to ultra specification in the middle of 2012.

Ebrahim Motors will be the official Audi Brazil dealer team for 2013. The #20 Audi R8 LMS ultra (2012 specification model) will have a factory silver and red paint scheme and will carry the Audi Top Service sponsorship. A step ahead for a team managed and run by the Ebrahim brothers, Fábio and Wagner. With this kind of recognition, the Audi team will target the overall championship title.

The first round will be held on the streets of São Paulo, at the temporary Anhembi Circuit supporting the IndyCar Series. We wish the best of luck to Ebrahim Motors and their Audi R8 LMS ultra.
