1832 Nov., Tues. 6

8 50/..

12 1/2

Fine morning – Fahrenheit 49º at 9 20/.. a.m. – Called up to Wilson the joiner come about the library passage up and down stairs in 1/2 hour – Till 9 giving orders – Then breakfast with my father – Waited for Marian to order about flannel for waistcoats and drawers. Determined to have all ready to be off in January –

Had Washington – To have all the bills next week for wearing, mystal at Southolme etc. etc. – Just saw my aunt for a few minutes – Very kind 2 1/2 pages Letter from Miss McL– [MacLean] (Coll house aros) to say the bay on laurel leaved willows were sent off to Glasgow yesterday week with orders to be forwarded here immediately –

Off at 11 1/4 with Marian to call at the vicarage – There in 20 minutes and sat 1/2 hour with Mrs. Musgrave – Then went with Marian to Walker’s shop to order flannel etc. for things for me in readiness for being off – Hoped I really should be on route in January – Then parted with Marian –

Went to Whitley’s. Bought Hooper’s medical dictionary 25 /. [shillings] published at 28 /. [shillings] and in 50 minutes at Lidgate (at 1 1/2). Miss W– [Walker] very glad to see me, I having said I should not go till tomorrow – Sat 1/2 hour with her and home at 2 1/2 –

Met Mr. Samuel Waterhouse junior (ætatis 17) at her gate – Stood talking a few minutes while Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood left Miss Walker – Mr. S[amuel] W[aterhouse] just came to her door to ask how she did – She said she should have me to nurse [her] now and really seemed much better and in good spirits.

Talked of the agreeable surprise of seeing [me] but yet seemed more inclined to talk of business than love. I appeared in more than good spirits. She would think them all put on. And perhaps believe me feeling more acutely than I really did. I kissed her, but in a common way, and she did not push herself to me as yesterday and was more guarded.

She will not give me much reason now either to hope or despair. Her self possession will probably be undisturbed enough. I left her with no pleasant feeling, saying to myself, ‘Damn her. It is an arrow and perhaps a lucky escape.’ I dont think her answer will be yes. And the more easily reconciled I am the better. Shall I dislike her by and by? At least I shall be more at liberty without her –

Fred Wilson, the joiner, and his man in the library passage at 2 1/2 – 26 or 27 inches lower than my blue room closet but determined not to be beaten with it, and went on – Dusty job to get the studding down –

Had only just managed and given orders what was to be done when James Holt came at 4 5/.. and had him till 6 – Something must be wrong that Mr. Jeremiah Rawson will not let go into their works – Probably they are stealing my coal already – Holt says I should not take less than £200 per acre but if he was in their place he would not give £250 per acre –

Said I had at 1st asked the price between the 2 leases (£205 and £230) = £217.[pounds] 10. [shillings]. 0 [pence] but had said I should be worse to deal with now – Proposed asking £220 per acre but Holt owned the coal was worth as much now as when sold to Oates and Green and worth quite as much or more to Rawsons than to them (∴ [therefore] I ought to have £230 per acre) –

Owned too that I ought to have more for the coal at the top of the land, for it would make that at the bottom of less value. He thought they had a hundred yards plumbing dip i.e. could get with the water head a hundred yards breadth on this side and alongside the present waterhead driven by Oates and Company – Should shew Mr. J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] the coal plan – Ask him what fields he wanted and might let him Hugh grave field and the coal ungot to the north west of it and to the north east down in a straight line under the cunnery plantation down to the road but not to let him come lower down –

Owned afterwards it would be as well not to let him come lower than the Cunnery houses, for if he got down to the brook he could throw such a quantity of water upon us – If he did not come lower down than Cunnery houses or the present Wakefield road, I might leave or fence of coal or turn the water, and not be so much injured –

Holt would meet J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] on the ground and see what he wanted – No air pit necessary for the lower bed coal, and not to sell any upper bed but by a separate agreement – Upper bed costs 6 d [pence] a score (corves) more getting than lower bed, and not being able to get it all, obliged to leave posts, makes it not work so much by £50 an acre as lower bed –

If J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] would not let Holt go into his works, I might propose either of the 2 brothers Squire or Tom Lassey of Thornhill, the former steward to Mr. Ingham of Misfield – In making the agreement to have surface measure, and the power to send down people into the works whenever I liked, and to have a clause to prevent J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] damming or turning any water back into the old works after he had got the coal (Had I not better have a bond of indemnity against this?) otherwise he might drown me in water and prevent my getting the coal below where he had been getting and had turned the water –

It was right enough that I should make no allowance for gauls or jumbles or ruttle – Great difference between drawing out at the day and pulling up thro’ a shaft – At their (Holt’s) pit on Swales moor 150 yards deep pulling costs them 18 pence a score; and ropes cost them £15 or £16 a year – One collier may be reckoned to get 25 corves a day for five days in a week – If J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] gets £100 profit per acre it will be quite enough –

Then see according to the following what to ask an acre for the coal –

Making all sufficient allowances there will come out of one square yard 5 corves, which (as J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] sells at 7 d [pence] and 8 d [pence] a corve, average at 7 1/2 d [pence] a corve –

Expense of getting 20 corves (or one score) 4 /. [shillings] to the colliers –

Banksman 1 /. [shilling] a score – wear and tear say 6 d [pence] a score, certainly enough –

Lower bed 18 inches thick – Lightcliffe bed 25 inches thick – Billy stocks paid £260 an acre 5 or 6 years ago for what he bought – This that Hinscliffe is taking must be worth as much – He will have very little to sink – 14 or 16 yards and coals worth less as nearer the surface – But not for being dry – But there is a gaul that throws up the coal near Lidgate (breaks out in the road going up the hill) and there cannot be any coal on this side that gaul near more than a daywork or 2 to get in that field next below the Smith (Hinscliffe’s) –

Speaking of Godley, wished Holt not to let it go for nothing but said I had mentioned it to Mr. Samuel Freeman – Holt said I could employ no one better – He said it was North £80 a daywork but £ a daywork was the outside – ∴ [therefore] the 20 dayworks = £2000

Carr has been arrested several times lately – Speaking of the cottages on Godley land, Holt knows that the 4 belonging to his uncle George Holdsworth would be sold – Cost £50 each building and £40 the ground – But might be had he thinks for £ 200 – Will inquire and let me know –

Speaking of his farm, some people might buy it at 3 1/2 percent Rent £66 per anum but it would not suit him to buy land at that price – He explained the manner of working coal pits – Asked him to give me an underground plan of a pit in working and asked him to let me know when I could go down with him into one of his pits. I must understand coal-getting before I have done with it – Holts pit at Binns bottom will be ready for working in 2 months from this and I can go in at the day –

Dinner at 6 3/4 – In 1/2 hour wrote and sent at 7 35/.. 3 pages to “Dr. Belcombe York” or rather 2 pages and 3 or 4 lines to him and the rest to his wife, to be torn off and given to her, thanks for her letter and to say yes! I thought black velvet properly garni au blonde (white) would be very becoming to her –

Told him wished I could give a better account of his patient, but she was not worse on his hands, which was marvellous considering the affliction she had had on account of the sudden death of her most particular friend, the news of which had arrived the day after our leaving York – No pills last Thursday – Begged to have them next Thursday – Ask how long they are to be gone on with without interruption – She thought at 1st, but not afterwards, they gave her much physicky pain in her bowels – These last had behaved very well considering the affliction she had been in –

In fact, she believed she could not have been so well now, had she not had his advice – He is ‘in très bonne odeur’ and his patient has faith enough in him – Mr. Day has been and, I suppose, would not let her believe in her own existence without the use of his ointment but ‘ce nous est égal’ – Ask him to write a letter I can shew. Not to spare a little anxiety and to ask whatever questions he knows will be proper. ‘Indeed not say I have the good of your reputation at heart’ –

John’s son Joseph Booth came over with Scott’s head groom to bring 2 perfect horses to Mr. Thomas Dyson of Willow field – Had him (Joseph B– [Booth]) in and spoke to him – He is grown, and improved – Perhaps I shall take him with me abroad – Then writing journal of today – Had John in – He is much pleased and satisfied with his son – Talked to him about his family – To send Charlotte for my aunt, to hear her read and see her sewing so as to be able to judge what she can do and be fit for –

Then my father and Marian just gone to bed. A few minutes with my aunt – Then came back to the drawing room – Read my letter from Vere dated Turin 24 October 3 pages and ends of small sheet (Frankfort paper) – Very nice chit chat amusing letter –

And read my letter from Lady Stuart (Richmond park) enclosing Vere’s 2 last to her – A kind 1/2 sheet full and a few lines on the envelope (franked by Lord Goderich) from Lady S– [Stuart]. These letters put me in spirits. I am better without Miss W[alker] –

11 1/2 before I had read my letters and written so far of today –

5 corves at 7 1/2 d pence = 37 1/2 d [pence] = 3 1 1/2 per square yard

One score or 20 corves = 12/6 [shillings/pence] expense of getting which = 4 /. [shillings] to the colliers.

∴ [therefore] 12/6 - 5/6 = 7 /. [shillings] clear gain per score = 1 /. [shilling] to the banksman or per 4 square yards = ./6 [shilling/pence] wear and tear (quite enough) –

At the forgoing rate, 5 corves or 1 square yard = clear gain of 1/9 [pound/shillings], 1 score (20 corves) or 4 square yards = clear gain of 7 /. [shillings] ∴ [therefore]

1 acre or 4840 square yards = at 1/9 [pound/shillings] per square yard or 7 /. [shillings] p[e]r 4 square yards = £423. [pounds] 10. [shillings] 0 [pence]

Now Holt said this calculation would do, and that £100 clear gain per acre was enough ∴ [therefore] if I have £250 per acre J[eremiah] R– [Rawson] has a profit of 423. [pounds] 10. [shillings]. 0 [pence] – 250 = £173. [pounds] 10. [shillings] 0 [pence]

Very fine day – Went up to my room at 11 50/.. at which hour Fahrenheit 49º

[sideways in margin] Sunday 23 December 1832 vide page 231, suppose Messieurs R– [Rawson] to sell at 7 1/2 per corve or 12/6 per score and allow half for expenses, then 48040/4 or 1210 x 6 shillings x 3 d [pence] = £363 + 15. [pounds] 2. [shillings] 6 [pence] = £378. [pounds] 2. [shillings]. 6 [pence], so that paying me £230. [pounds] 10. [shillings] 0 [pence] per acre then remains to Messieurs a profit per acre of £147. [pounds] 12. [shillings] 6 [pence]

In October with a wider group, I visited a very special outcrop here in Scotland: The ‘Great’ Highland Boundary Fault at Stonehaven. Dr. Stuart Gilfillan and PhD student Chris Holdsworth led the group.

#tbt @cinelli_vintage ・・・ Mike Barry competing on the Cinelli in the Ranmore Hillclimb, 1958. . “In the early 1950s, I was a kid living in London with very little money, but an intense interest in everything to do with cycling…. The shop we visited most often was the Cyclecraft shop in Chiswick, which had a display of marvelous Cinellis….. John Gough rode a wonderful Cinelli, which was a very unusual bike in London at that time. Most of us rode locally built bicycles such as Claud Butlers, Holdsworths, Allins, Algums and, in my case, a very nice Stuart Purves. All were good bikes, but the Cinelli was to me the vastly more attractive…. “ . The interesting story of Mike Barry is a special example of passion for Cinelli Bicycles, you will find in mariposabicycles.ca web site ;) hello Mike ...Rest In Peace . #cinelliusa #cinellivintage #cinelli #cinellihistogram #cinelliofficial #cinellifamily #oleritter #cycling #cyclinghistory #vintagebicycles #vintagecycling #vintagecinelli #cinelli_official #vintagecycling #vintagebicycle #cycling #cyclinglife #eroica #thesoulofcycling https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sdxyrF49d/?igshid=az59ixvhzglt

Bath-full of Rain Can't Stop Holdsworth and Ware Show.

1st XI Secure Outstanding Victory, 2nd XI Cancelled due to the Rain.

James Holdsworth took the 1st XI on an away day trip to Bath CC this weekend. The hosts, enjoying a good season and sat 3rd in the table before this round of fixtures, opted to insert Leigh at a rather moist Brownsword Ground. A solid opening partnerhip between Dan Sanders (25) and Mike Ware saw Leigh make good progress in the early stages until Sanders, unusually, fell victim to a girl. Ware found excellent support from Charlie Scharneck (46), the bubbly South African deservedly promoted from the 2s as a result of his outstanding form this season. James Tucker (27*) the other main contributor with a sensible innings. The stand-out contribution for Leigh being Mike Ware's 53 - a first half-century of the season for the talented allrounder. 26 Extras giving the visitors a nice little boost and a total of 206-7 was fair reward at the tea interval. Tucker and Ware opened the bowling, but with plenty of surface water and showers, Holdsworth opted to bring spin into the attack and Sanders was first to benefit - picking up the wicket of George Foreman, clean bowled, after a serious grilling. Stuart Cole removed the dangerous Kenny James - a smart catch by Sanders - Cole picking up a tidy 1-37. Ben Keith Caddick continued his excellent form with 3-12 as Holdsworth destroyed the Bath batting line-up, a seventh 5-wicket haul, 5-25 and all batsman bowled in a Warnesque spell by the veteran tweaker. Bath all out in the 39th Over and ending their innings on 185 to see the points go back to Abbots Leigh with a 21-run victory. Both sides deserve enormous credit for getting the game on and playing in termendous spirits. No 1st XI game this week due to Chew Magna dropping out, the 2s visit Bedminster - Let Seb know your availability ASAP.

1832 Nov., Wed. 21

6 10/..

11 1/2

Fahrenheit 51º at 7 10/.. Very thick and hazy – The light just beginning to try to peep thro’ the fog – Ready in an hour – Reading the courier newspaper of last night till very near 8 – Then breakfast – Had done before my father came –

Mr. Mitchell, the land valuer, came about 8 1/2 and staid an hour – Agreed that on Mr. Carr’s giving me the 1st refusal of Godley I should say I would apply to Mr. Mitchell to act as my agent in the business – The buildings might be worth £200 or £300 – Would value the place for me on my hearing from Carr – Valued the land proposed to be purchased at Northgate at 7/. [shillings] a yard – Said I was lucky in selling the land for St. James’s church – Oates did not want to lose the job, so pushed it on –

On saying that 12/6 [shillings/pence] and last 11/6 [shillings/pence] had been given per yard for land near mine, he owned it might be worth more but said I should not get my price 15/. [shillings] a yard – Yet owned that it was intended to bring the Keighly road out by Stannery and into Broad street thro’ North parade in 4 or 5 years, and thus my land would be very much improved in value –

Advised me to take a ground rent of 6 d [pence] a yard – Yet allowed that the feoffers of Waterhouse’s charity tho’ they had 6 d [pence] a yard for Waterhouse Street had just stopt the sale of some more ground at that price thinking it not enough – Said these ground rents were worth 30 years purchase –

Advised me by no means to build myself – Mentioned the case of Collins (but without name) but owning the man was not a tenant of mine – No remedy for selling off, but to commence on action on the man’s leaving the farm for damage done to it – The state of the farm when he entered is what he had paid on entering should be known, and all that he had sole off taken account of – But as there was an agreement and he had afterwards refused signing it, yet this would be brought forward on a trial at York, and probably made to stand good –

All this went by the common law of the land, and custom of this part of the country – One must look to the terms and trials for precedents – Particularly Armytage (sir George) versus –––––– about 14 years ago, and some other cases – All very uncertain – Those fields at the bottom of Horton Street called Grease fields – The ground worth 8 /. [shillings] or 10 /. [shillings] a yard – The fields in Lister lane not worth more than £3 a daywork. Doubtful whether Wortley will come in or not –

At 9 1/2 went down to Pickles and his son John who began this morning – Soon called home to Metcalf, Linen draper, in Waterhouse Street to whom let my front pew at St. James’s church – To enter next Sunday – Pay the same rent as the adjoining pews – He thought that was 40 /. [shillings] a year –

And Hinscliffe too was waiting for me – Ended in his bidding me £230 an acre for the coal at the top of the hill – Will be about 2 acres – Anxious to begin as soon as possible – But I gave him no hope that the person to whom I had given the 1st refusal would let him have the coal even that price, but said he should give something more or else not have it –

Hinscliffe’s scale of expense on getting coal is as follows he observing that one should only reckon 4 1/2 instead of 5 corves out of a square yard

Banking and pulling per dozen 1/6 [shilling/pence]

∴ [therefore] Ditt]o ditt]o per score = 1/10 1/2 [shilling/pence]

getting (colliers) –––––––––––––––– = 4 /. [shillings]

pheying . . = £4. [pounds] 16. [shillings]. 0 [pence] per acre

taxes . . = £5 or £6 per acre

wear and tear (he said) = 1 /. [shilling] per score (I said impossible and 6 /. [shillings] a score quite enough)

one dozen = 16 loads

20 loads = 1 score

1 score = 1 1/4 dozen

5 men working regularly will get an acre in a year

The main throws run from NorthWest dipping to South East according to the general opinion between sea and sea. Hinscliffe’s estimate of expense makes the cost per score = about 7 /. [shillings] per score

Suppose to sell at 7 d [pence] a corve = 11/8 [shillings/pence] per score – 7 /. [shillings] expenses = 4/8 [shillings/pence] clear gain

1 acre or 1210 scores at 4/8 [shillings/pence] = £282. [pounds] 5. [shillings]. 8 [pence]?

If from this is to be taken 1/2 a corve per square yard (i.e. 4 1/2 instead of 5 corves per square yard) then suppose £30 to be taken off the coal leaves £250 odd, so at the worst Hinscliffe paying me £230 will gain £20 per acre tho’ he went away declaring he could gain nothing –

Before he went Joseph Wilkinson came and staid about 1 1/2 hour till 12 40/.. – But we were very good friends – Promised to give me on Saturday a direct and final answer what he would do about the water. He wishes to have the bridle road in Lower brea wood stopt and will engage that it shall be done at the Sessions without opposition – He and Samuel Holdsworth (2 of the Surveyors) will attend the Sessions in its favour –

Then came Wilson to beg off doing the library passage till Monday – Then Charles Howarth – The oak tree of Miss W– [Walker]’s that Washington valued at 5 /. [shillings] and her joiner Woodhead at 6 /. [shillings]. Charles H– [Howarth] has 9 feet of wood in it, and is worth 10 /. [shillings] – Should have been worth 15 d [pence] a foot but is coarse and only fit for posts – Had it been a fine straight pole would have been worth 2/3 [shillings/pence] a foot –

At 12 50/.. went back to Pickles – 1/2 hour while he dined, I was in my walk – Then all the rest of the afternoon with the men – John (had James Smith’s son thrashing in his stead) planted 200 hollies and 16 box and helped to move laurel and 2 large thorns planted on the slope at the top of Charles H– [Howarth]’s acre field lastly (having in the morning stubbed and carted to Lower brook Ing wood rails about 15 hazels) planted out 2 or 3 large hazels in the wood –

Quite too dark to see at 4 3/4 – I staid out walking till so dark I could scarce keep on the path and came in at 5 40/.. – Dinner at 6 1/4 – Afterwards wrote note to “Mr. Carr White Swan Halifax” in answer to his of this morning that came just after Mr. Mitchell went away to say he had no objection to sell the Godley farm, and gave me the preface – Said I should be glad to be the purchaser and wrote by the bearer of my note to Mr. Mitchell the land valuer to desire him to act as my agent in the business, and call upon Mr. Carr on the subject immediately to ask his price –

Then to "Mr. Mitchell, Land valuer Cowmarket Halifax" a note explanatory of the above, but if any saw the note nobody could get that Mitchell had been spoken to on the subject before – Wrote also note to “J.T. Holroyde Esquire solicitor H–x [Halifax]” as follows

"Shibden Hall – Wednesday 21 November 1832. Sir, I beg to inform you that my price for the land proposed to be purchased is fourteen shillings a yard or a ground rent of seven pence a yard – I am, sir, etc. etc. etc. A Lister" –

Sent off these notes by John at 8 – Afterwards calculating about coals etc. and wrote all the above of today till 9 3/4 – Then went into the other room and staid talking to my aunt till 10 35/.. – At which hour Fahrenheit 49º –

Very thick, soft, dark day but good for planting – Kind letter tonight, 3 pages letter paper franked by Lady S– [Stuart] de R– [Rothesay], thanks for the shawl which seems to have given great pleasure – Pothered by Mr. James Wortleys thanks for my good wishes and hopes to make my acquaintance. I shall say I am going to York or be out of the way by some means or other. I am only afraid he will call. Mrs. Briggs my late steward’s widow called this morning.

24 Stunden von Daytona eröffnen nordamerikanische IMSA-Serie

Intercontinental GT Challenge beginnt mit 12 Stunden von Bathurst in Australien

Der neue Audi R8 LMS GT4 startet zwei Wochen nach dem Doppelsieg beim 24-Stunden-Rennen in Dubai nun in Nordamerika. Das Publikum erlebt den Kundensport-Rennwagen dort erstmals am 27. und 28. Januar beim traditionellen Eröffnungslauf der IMSA-Serie in Daytona. Nur eine Woche später, am 4. Februar, beginnt die Intercontinental GT Challenge in Australien.

Mit seiner Produktoffensive stärkt Audi Sport customer racing die Präsenz im internationalen Rennsport. „Während der Motorsport in vielen Serien zu Jahresbeginn noch ruht, starten unsere Kunden bereits bei drei internationalen Veranstaltungen“, sagt Chris Reinke, Leiter Audi Sport customer racing. „Besonders freut uns, wie beliebt unsere neuen Modelle schon sind. Die GT3- und GT4-Version des Audi R8 LMS und der Audi RS 3 LMS sind international sehr gefragt.“ In Dubai haben insgesamt 13 Fahrermannschaften auf einen dieser drei Rennwagen vertraut. Auch in Daytona starten der Touren- und die beiden GT-Sportwagen. Der Audi R8 LMS GT3 fährt beim 24-Stunden-Rennen um den dritten Sieg für Audi in der GTD-Klasse nach 2013 und 2016. Das Team Magnus Racing siegte vor zwei Jahren und kehrt mit einem Audi R8 LMS zurück. Das Cockpit teilen sich die drei Amerikaner John Potter, Andy Lally, Andrew Davis und der deutsche Audi-Sport-Pilot Markus Winkelhock. Das Team Montaplast by Land-Motorsport verpasste den Sieg 2017 nur um 0,293 Sekunden und startet mit den beiden Audi-Sport-Piloten Christopher Mies und Kelvin van der Linde sowie dessen Bruder Sheldon van der Linde und Jeffrey Schmidt.

Im Rahmenprogramm des 24-Stunden-Klassikers erwarten die Zuschauer ein starkes Starterfeld und spannende Kämpfe in der Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge. Dort sind erstmals TCR-Rennwagen zugelassen. Fünf Teams aus dem Kreis von Audi Sport customer racing setzen in der Rennserie insgesamt sieben Audi RS 3 LMS ein. In der GS-Klasse debütieren drei Audi R8 LMS GT4, verteilt auf zwei Teams. Beide Klassen bestreiten ein gemeinsames 4-Stunden-Rennen. In Australien geht es für Audi sieben Tage später um den Gesamtsieg. Bereits 2011 und 2012 gewannen von Audi Sport customer racing unterstützte Kundenteams mit dem Audi R8 LMS den 12-Stunden-Klassiker auf der Rennstrecke von Bathurst. Die anspruchsvolle Berg-und-Tal-Bahn 200 Kilometer westlich von Sydney eröffnet die Intercontinental GT Challenge 2018. Läufe in Europa, Asien und Nordamerika komplettieren den Kalender. Audi war 2016 und 2017 Gesamtsieger in der Fahrer- und Markenwertung. In diesem Jahr treten die Vier Ringe an, um beide Titel zu verteidigen.

Acht GT3-Rennwagen stellen sich der Herausforderung in Australien. Das Team Valvoline Jamec Pem Racing ist mit den fünf Audi-Sport-Piloten Kelvin van der Linde, Frédéric Vervisch, Christopher Haase, Christopher Mies und Markus Winkelhock sowie dem einheimischen Tourenwagen-Ass Garth Tander dabei. Erstmals bestreitet das Audi Sport Team WRT ein Rennen in Australien. Eines der beiden Cockpits teilen sich die Audi-Sport-Piloten Robin Frijns und Dries Vanthoor mit Blancpain-GT-Sprint-Champion Stuart Leonard. Am Steuer des zweiten WRT-Audi sitzen die FIA-WEC-GT-Am-Trophy-Gewinner des Vorjahres Mathias Lauda, Paul Dalla Lana und Pedro Lamy zusammen mit Lokalmatador Will Davison. Drei private Teams aus Australien und eines aus Neuseeland komplettieren den Kreis der Kundenteams von Audi in Bathurst. „Damit sind wir in Amerika und in Australien für die beiden nächsten Langstreckenrennen gut aufgestellt“, sagt Chris Reinke, Leiter Audi Sport customer racing.
