Welcome to the RD Race Club!
The year is 1989 and Audi, after dominating the 1988 north American TransAm racing series with their factory effort all-wheel drive 200 Quattro and then being subsequently banned from that series, takes their motorsports program to the competing race series IMSA instead.
For IMSA, Audi introduced the world to the now iconic Audi 90 GTO. Producing an astounding 720 hp from a 2.2 liter 5 cylinder engine, thanks to the help of a massive turbo, the 90 GTO was a purpose-built racecar utilizing tubeframe construction and the signature Audi all-wheel drive system. Although Audi did not compete in the first few races of the season, as the car was still under development, it eventually scored a victory at Summit Point driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck. From that point, the Audi was nearly unstoppable, winning 7 of the 13 races, and went on to take 2nd place in the Constructors’ Championship with Stuck taking third overall in the Drivers' Championship. Had the car competed at the first races at Daytona and Sebring, they most likely would have won both championships.
Sadly, after just one season German bosses decided to pull the plug on the IMSA program and focus their attention on the DTM series at home.
Now is your chance to get behind the wheel of this legendary race car, as we revisit the 1989 IMSA racing series. Our first stop, Sonoma Raceway (previously known as Sears Point), nestled into the rolling hills of California.
We will race the following circuits on alternating Fridays:
R1 Sears Point Raceway (Sonoma, CA)
R2 Summit Point Motorsports Park (West Virginia)
R3 Lime Rock Park (Lakeville, Connecticut)
R4 Mid Ohio Sports Car Course (Lexingtong, OH)
R5 Canadian Tire Motorsort Park (Mosport) (Ontario, Canada)
R6 Road America (Elkhart Lake, WI)
R7 Heartland Motorsports Park (Topeka, Kansas)
R8 Watkins Glen (Watkins Glen, NY)
R9 Laguna Seca (Monterey, CA)
R10 Road Atlanta (Georgia)
We'll see you on the track!
