Swedish GT: Audi R8 LMS victory and double podium closes Swedish GT season

Johan Laubscher

The 2013 Swedish GT Championship concluded at Mantorp Park this weekend. It was another very good event for the Audi R8 LMS teams.

JB Motorsport had been unbeaten this year and they continued their good form this weekend. Their Audi R8 LMS was again piloted by Jan Brunstedt and Christer Lindholm. Only one Audi had been entered during the Swedish GT season, but a second Audi team took part in the season finale. Alfab Racing, who took part in the 2011 and 2012 Swedish GT seasons, entered their #7 Audi R8 LMS this weekend, driven by Erik Behrens and Daniel Roos.

Qualifying saw the Audis dominate at the front, as Alfab Racing took pole ahead of JB Motorsport by just 0.246 seconds. The race itself saw Alfab Racing making it a victorious comeback, as Roos and Behrens took the checkered flag. Brunstedt and Lindholm finished third in their #4 Audi R8 LMS.

The Audi R8 LMS has been unbeaten in Swedish GT this year, as all seven races were won by the Audi GT3 race car: Six wins from JB Motorsport and one from Alfab Racing. 

It has been a very successful season for JB Motorsport and their #4 Audi R8 LMS. JB Motorsport took the GTA class team’s title, along with their two drivers finishing first and second in the GTA driver’s standings. Jan Brunstedt was crowned as champion with two rounds to spare and his teammate, Christer Lindholm who did not contest all of the races, finished second. 

It has certainly been a tremendous year for the Audi R8 LMS in Sweden, adding yet another championship title to the Audi Sport customer racing tally.

Swedish GT: JB Motorsport remains unbeaten in 2013 at Knutstorp

By Johan Laubscher

JB Motorsport and Jan Brunstedt have been unbeaten in the 2013 Swedish GT Championship so far this year, and they continued their winning streak at Knutstorp this weekend.  

Brunstedt has already been crowned as the 2013 Swedish GT driver's champion and now the team is focussing on achieving second place in the driver’s standings with his teammate, Christer Lindholm. The #4 JB Motorsport Audi R8 LMS was driven by Brunstedt at every round this year, but he was also joined in victory by Christer Lindholm on a number of occasions. Lindholm is in the fight for second place in the championship, despite him not having taken part in all of the rounds.

The Swedish GT Championship was at Knutstorp this weekend, the fifth and penultimate meeting of the season. The JB Motorsport Audi R8 LMS was again placed on pole position for the race. They backed up the pole by taking yet another race victory, remaining unbeaten with six victories this year.

Another great result for the JB Motorsport team, with Jan Brunstedt as champion and Christer Lindholm ever closer to clinching second place in the championship.

The final round of the 2013 Swedish GT Championship will be taking place at Mantorp Park in two weeks time.

Swedish GT: Jan Brunstedt crowned 2013 champion in Audi R8 LMS

By Johan Laubscher

The latest Swedish GT round was held at Anderstorp this past weekend, where JB Motorsport continued their unbeaten run of victories in the 2013 season.

Jan Brunstedt has taken victory, behind the wheel of his #4 Audi R8 LMS, at every event so far this season. He was joined in victory on two occasions by his co-driver, Christer Lindholm, at Mantorp Park and at Anderstorp.

The latest results from Anderstorp have elevated Jan Brunstedt into an unassailable championship lead, as no one is mathematically able to catch up with the remaining points on offer this season. Thus Jan Brunstedt has officially been crowned the 2013 Swedish GT champion, with two rounds still remaining. 

An excellent result for the JB Motorsport team, and yet another championship title for the Audi R8 LMS.
