AmD Tuning.com will pay tribute to one of Audi’s classic motorsport liveries in the 2016 British Touring Car Championship season, with its S3 racer sporting a retro red livery.
Having run in an all-black colour scheme during selected outings in 2015, with Nic Hamilton competing in the car in four events before Jake Hill took over for the season finale, AmD will now rebrand their sole car for 2016 as they look to finalise a deal with a new driver.
The new colour scheme is designed to emulate elements of the colours which were run on the IMSA Audi 90 GTO cars during the 1980s. The move is designed to coincide with AmD’s full-time switch to Audi machinery, as well as incorporating the tuning company’s traditional red and black.
“We’re pleased to take the covers off the new look Audi and think the end result will stand out on track during the season ahead,” explained Team Principal Shaun Hollamby. “We were keen to go back to our traditional colours this year and we saw the ideal opportunity to incorporate elements of the IMSA Audi livery to celebrate our first full season with the S3.
“Audi has a huge amount of history and heritage in motorsport and whilst we are an independent team, we are proud to celebrate part of that heritage in the livery we have chosen. The famous Audi stripes go well with our own red and black, and also with the colours of Cobra Exhausts who we are delighted to have on board again this season.”
The team are continuing discussions with potential drivers for the 2016 season.
