The International Superstars Series is heading to Donington Park this weekend for round 3. The three Audi teams fielding the RS5 will be there.

The Audi RS5 debuted earlier this year at Monza. The car didn't win on its but did show a phenomenal pace and potential. At Imola for round 2 it was full domination by the RS5. Pole position, two race victories and the fastest lap in all the weekend’s sessions. Johan Kristofferson and team Kristofferson Motorsport performed a perfect weekend at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit, Imola.

At Donington Audi Sport Italia will field the #45 Audi RS5 for driver Gianni Morbidelli. The two times Superstars Series champion is no stranger to Donington Park. The Italian touring car ace raced there in the BTCC during the 1990s. Kristofferson Motorsport, the team who dominated at Imola last time out will have their #46 Audi RS5 for Johan Kristofferson. The young Swedish driver is having a stunting season Superstars debut and further success with a double victory in the first round of the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship with a factory backed VW Sirocco. Kristofferson is currently leading the overall Superstars Series drivers standing. At Donington he will once again be targeting for race wins and to keep the championship lead. The third RS5 will be entered by MTM Motorsport for the team's regular driver Thomas Schoeffler. The young German driver raced the old Audi RS4 at Monza before switching to the new Audi RS5 at Imola.

At Donington the Audi squad again will have to fight against the top quality field and strong competitors. The main rivals will come from BMW and AMG Mercedes-Benz. As the Superstars Series is a "Performance Balanced" championship, we are expecting very strong performances from the Audi RS5, but not the same domination as at Imola last time out. Both Superstars Series races are set for Sunday with the Audi RS5 cars ready for this "Battle of Britain".
