Indian racing driver Aditya Patel looks to continue his good run in the Audi R8 LMS Cup as the series heads to the Korea International Circuit in South Korea this weekend.

Patel is currently third in the championship standings, behind Alex Yoong and Rahel Frey.

The Indian will have to come to grips with the extremely technical layout of the Yeongam venue in two practice sessions that precede qualifying.

Speaking about the weekend ahead, Aditya said, “The circuit is completely new to me and unlike Zhuhai, I don’t have as many practice sessions to learn the track. I have watched some videos and it does look like a circuit I will thoroughly enjoy driving on!

"I am looking forward to getting back into the Audi R8 after a two month break and the aim is to be on the top step of the podium”, he added.

Two races are scheduled for the weekend, one each on Saturday and Sunday.
