New Audis for Xtreme team



This year the Engen Xtreme Team will be entering the 2011 WesBank Series with its newly-engineered Audi RS4s.

Engen has decided to align the Volkswagen Polo cup cars with the Audi programme, with both cars branded in a black-and-silver livery. The VW Cup formula will also now be competing with standard commercially-available Engen 95 unleaded pump fuel.

Lining up on the grid in the Bridgestone Production Category is Engen Audi driver, Michael Stephen with team mate Tschops Sipuka who will be in the fight to bring home championship titles.

In the Volkswagen Polo Cup formula, 2010 Masters Champion Miguel Pasqualli will be looking at defending his title alongside his team mate Kosie Weyers and both will both be competing for top honours throughout the race season.

"Engen is once again pleased to be able to commit to another three-year sponsorship term," said the company's Group Sponsorship Manager, Brad Bergh. "The most exciting development for us this year will be the launch of the new Audi race package which will definitely put us at the sharp end of track competition."
