Default Looks like Galati will be driving a new ride AND a new teammate in the SPEED WC series

"Florida-based Champion Racing will become the first team in the world to race Audi's potent RS 6 quattro sedan. Michael Galati will bid for a third consecutive SPEED World Challenge GT title in the latest all-wheel-drive Audi while fellow American Randy Pobst joins the Audi Sport North America backed outfit for the 2003 season."

I really hope they did soem major weight reducing measures to cut down on the RS6's porky weight! I curious how its going to do against the lighter, more nimble 996s, M3s, Vettes, and Cunningham's NSX.

Default Randy Pobst is a good choice.

I hope he's as competitive in the Audi as he was in the Porsche.

Great minds think alike... Just not necessarily at the same time.
