"Touring Car Racing (TCR) brings the top manufacturers from around the world together to face off in spec racecars that really put drivers to the test. The RS 3 LMS takes the A3 line to the track in this menacing wide body with a huge front splitter and massive rear wing. Compared to the production model, which uses a 400hp Audi five-cylinder motor, this car is actually slower… until it comes to the turns, that is. TCR rules limit displacement to 2.0 liters, but the 345hp turbo four-cylinder is no slouch. You can find the RS 3 racing in 18 different countries in the series as well as the king of all tracks, the Nürburgring. And now you also find it in your Forza garage."—Official description[1]
The 2018 Audi #1 Audi Sport RS 3 LMS - abbreviated as "Audi #1 RS 3 LMS" - is a TCR touring car by Audi.
It was added for free to Forza Motorsport 7 as part of the 2019 January Update, and appears as standard in Forza Motorsport (2023).
Synopsis[]
Based on the second generation RS 3, the RS 3 LMS is Audi's model for the TCR Touring Car specification. The car was never intended to be run as a manufacturer effort and was always intended to be a customer run car. Unlike the RS 3 that it is based on, the car uses a turbocharged 2.0L I4, the largest engine size allowed by the regulations, putting out about 330 hp (246 kW) and 310 ft·lb (420 N·m) and is front wheel drive, as required by the regulations.
The car would make its debut in 2017 at the Dubai Autodrome in the inaugural round of the TCR Middle East Touring Car Series. It would then receive a facelift in 2021 to coincide with the release of the fourth generation A3. Due to its performance over the variety of TCR series it competed in, the car received the TCR Model of the Year award in 2018 and for 3 years straight from 2021 to 2023.[2]
The #1 never competed in any actual races. Instead, it was the show car when the RS 3 LMS was unveiled to the world at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.[3] A car with the same livery but without the numbering was used as a press car.[4]
