For those of you interested in racing at a professional level but unable to commit either the time or money necessary, Audi has just announced a program that might meet your needs.

And the Audi R8 LMS, which, according to our “factory” drivers, is a very forgiving GT3 car is perfectly suited for this project which we fully support on the part of Audi Sport.”
According to Audi, the R8 LMS Race Experience will be available shortly to anyone who can afford it, and we've gotta say, while the cost may be more than we can stomach, the opportunity to race with the Le Mans-winning Team Joest is almost certainly worth the price of admission.
