Gordon Shedden to driver RS3 saloon in the 2018 World Touring car cup season

[Steve Q]

As the title says, it has come as a shock that the 3 times BTCC winner, Gordon Shedden has taken a contract to race for WRT in the World Touring Car Cup in an Audi RS3 saloon. This is the first time WRT has chosen to use an Audi in the championship and they will be getting support from the Audi's customer racing branch. However WRT are not the only team to run Audi vehicles for the 2018 season as Cometoyou have also chosen to do the same. 

I think you'll agree this should make the World Touring Car Cup an interesting championship to watch.
