The Audi TTRS entrant from Melbourne based tuning house Chasers will be the lonely German car amongst a sea of Japanese cars in the Open Class.
The well known Audi, driven by Matt Close is fresh from a 4th place outright in the Australian Tarmac Rally Championship, and will compete in Tarmac Spec.
“World Time Attack will be a great show case for the 5 cylinder, turbo charged, AWD Audi TTRS, it certainly is a seriously well sorted package”
Although it may not have the outright horsepower to pose a big threat for the outright honours in open class, it will more than likely surprise more highly more than a few highly modified cars in the field.
The Audi TTRS has been chipped to 420hp with a Revo Technics Stage 2 tune (from Audvolks) and is running KW Competition Coil Over shocks.
The car weighs in at 1360kgs in Tarmac Rally trim, and is still running the air conditioner, GPS and cruise control, and still in full road registration.
Glenn Trollope from Chasers invited Matt to join the Chaser crew after helping with some technical aspects of the car.
”when Glenn invited me to the Super Lap I jumped at the chance. It will be great to be associated with the Chaser crew and will be a excellent opportunity to further develop the car” said Matt.
“it’s a new discipline of Motorsport for me, so I think I am going to have to learn very quickly – but it certainly sounds exciting, and I can’t wait!”–

We will let Glenn Trollope – one of the directors explain more:
“One of the major changes I’ve witnessed during my time here at Chasers is the change over of management from Scott to Paul & Glenn and also the opening of Chasers East Side at Mitchem & a branch in New Caledonia. But one thing that has always been part of the culture here at Chasers is what I like to quote from Ralliart – “the spirit of competition”, mainly the intense rivalry between the Evo and GTR drivers for ultimate supremacy on the race track. We constantly strive for faster & faster times & give each other’s camp a verbal beating every once in awhile. But what I really love about this place is that everyone who works here loves their job & that’s what makes the whole experience of being a customer very enjoyable”
