APR Motorsport has continued their upward trajectory with a 2nd place finish in class at this weekend's EMCO Gears Classic at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. The number 171 Mk5 GTI 2.0t, piloted by Josh Hurley / Kevin Stadtlander were on the podium for the second time in as many races, only just being nudged out by the Bimmerworld 328i who managed to take the ST class win. The #181 had a fair showing, now with a revised driver line-up featuring Ian Baas and Mike Halpin, ending up in 14th position in class.
The #01 S4 and #91 Mk6 GTI were both MIA this past weekend for reasons left unknown, but it seems the reduced strain on the team has perhaps allowed them to focus on the already sorted (and successful) Mk5 GTIs that carried over from the past year. It will be interesting to see what APR decides to do for the rest of the year, whether they decide to remain strictly in ST for the rest of the year, or branch back out into a four car effort.
