Oliver Jarvis to drive R8 LMS

Brit ace to make his 24-hour race debut next weekend at the wheel of Audi V10

Audi R8 LMS

Audi’s British DTM star Oliver Jarvis is set to race in his first ever 24-hour event when he takes the start of the Nurburgring 24-hour race at the wheel of an R8 LMS entered by the ABT Sportsline team.

The 26-year-old driver joins a stellar driver line-up – he’ll share the number 100 car with Swede Mattias Ekström and German duo Timo Scheider and Marco Werner.

Talking about the race, Jarvis said, “It’ll be the first time I’ve ever competed in the Nürburgring 24 Hours and I’m very excited about contesting this race and delighted to be part of the ABT Sportsline line-up.”

“It’s a unique race with well over 200 cars competing around the famous old 14-mile Nordschleife track race located in the Eifel mountains and watched by over 250,000 spectators.”

In preparation for the event, Jarvis raced the R8 in the Nurburgring VLN championship last month.
