The #5 car will have youngsters and Audi regulars Christer Jöns and Luca Ludwig. The sister #15 will have a different line-up this time as both Marc Basseng and Frank Stippler are busy in FIA GT1. Frank Biela, a regular this season with Raeder will share the car with Christopher Haase. The Audi squad will have to compete against strong competition from the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche teams.
