KCMG confirms Audi R8 LMS Cup line up

Hong Kong – KC Motorgroup Ltd. (KCMG) is set to launch their Audi R8 LMS Cup campaign after signing Polish champion Jan Kisiel. The 21-year-old driver joins the Hong Kong-based outfit in the Asian sprint race series of the brand with four rings after claiming the Audi Sport TT Cup title last year. 

Returning to race in Asia is Formula Masters China Series 2015 champion Martin Rump, who joins Champion Racing Team in a car serviced by KCMG for the 2016 season. The young talents will test their skills against some of the region’s leading motorsport stars in the 5th season of the Audi R8 LMS Cup.

21-year-old Kisiel displayed exceptional talent in Europe last season with five victories and nine podiums over the Audi Sport TT Cup’s 12-race championship. The young Pole finished the season 25 points in front of his nearest rival, claiming the inaugural series title.

Last season, we witnessed Rump’s raw talent stand out on his way to winning the FMCS title, including an impressive streak of seven consecutive race wins. This earned him a cockpit in the 2015 Audi R8 LMS Cup finale in Shanghai, where he secured two 5th places in his GT3 debut.

Jan Kisiel: “I’m thrilled to continue racing with Audi and step up to the much more powerful R8 LMS.  The 2016 season is promising to be an exciting one.  I look forward to racing with my new team KCMG and am sure that we will be among the top contenders for the championship title.”

Martin Rump: “I’m delighted to make the move into Audi R8 LMS Cup together with KCMG. We definitely have a strong determined team and quick drivers to create some results. I’m excited to jump into the new generation car already next week in Shanghai. I’m greatly thankful to Audi for all the support for making this season happen!”

The Audi R8 LMS Cup season gets underway at the Shanghai Audi International Circuit with a double-header on May 21 and 22. To find out more about the series, please visit: www.audi-motorsport-asia.com
