"Notable racer and Jalopnik contributor Robb Holland was the first American driver to compete in a full season of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). With the help of Nürburgring-based Rotek Racing, Holland fielded the #67 Audi S3 Saloon in last year’s BTCC. Holland’s goals for the season were humble, given each race would be the first time he had seen many of the BTCC’s race tracks. Holland and Rotek placed in the top twenty more than once, fighting through unfortunate on-track incidents to earn some well-deserved points by the end of the season. For Forza fans, this BTCC racer is ready to relive its track time at Brand’s Hatch [sic], charging forward from any spot on the grid."—Official description[1]
The 2014 Audi #67 Rotek Racing S3 Saloon - abbreviated as "#67 Audi S3" - is a BTCC touring car by Audi.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 6, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex and Forza Motorsport 7.
Synopsis[]
Technical[]
Based on the third generation Audi S3 Sedan, the #67 S3 competed in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The car was built by Willie Poole Motorsport Services for the Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) specifications, meaning it uses the standard 2.0L turbocharged I4 and the same brakes, suspension and transmission as all other NGTC cars.
2014[]
Driven by Rob Holland, the car would make its debut at the season opening round of the 2014 season around the Indy circuit at Brands Hatch, but would finish outside the top 20 in all three races. This would unfortunately be the standard for the car throughout the year, as it only finished within the top 20 drivers four times, with its best finishing position being two finishes in the final points-paying position of 15th, with one coming at Snetterton and the other at Rockingham. Holland and Rotek Racing would end up being the lowest point scorers in their respective championships, with Holland finishing 27th in the drivers' championship and Rotek finishing 18th in the teams' championship.[2]
2015[]
Holland would end up selling the car to AmD Tuning before the start of the 2015 season.[3] The car, now renumbered to the #28, would make its return to the championship at the fifth round of the season at Croft Circuit at the hands of Nicolas Hamilton. A change in team and driver would not help the car as it would once again only have a couple finishes inside the top 20, with its best finish being once again at Snetterton, this time a 16th place. Jake Hill would take over the car for the final round of the season at Brands Hatch's GP circuit to allow Hamilton to prep for the 2016 season. Due to this, the car would once again be renumbered, this time to the #29, but the car would once again only manage a best finish of 17th across the 3 races of the weekend. Hamilton would not finish in an actual place in the drivers' standings as he was considered a guest driver in the championship, meaning he wasn't eligible for points. AmD would finish 13th in the teams' championship, but this was mainly due to their Focus ST that they also raced during the season.[4]
2016[]
AmD would sell off their Focus ST before the start of the 2016 season, leaving the S3 as their sole entry.[5] The car would have its fourth driver and fourth number in 3 years, with Ollie Jackson now in the seat of the #48. The car would end up having its best season out of the three so far, with six points-paying finishes and a best ever finishing position of 11th at Rockingham. Jackson would finish 26th in the drivers' championship, while AmD would finish 16th in the teams' championship.[6]
2017[]
For the 2017 season, Jackson and the #48 would be joined by Ant Whorton-Eales in a newly built sister car, the #10.[7] The #48 would continue to improve on its form from the previous season, getting its first two finishes inside the top 10, with both of these coming at Croft. The #10 would also achieve two top ten finishes, but would end up getting the best finish out of the two cars with a 6th at Silverstone. Jackson would finish in 23rd in the overall drivers' standings and 9th in terms of independent drivers, while Whorton-Eales would finish a spot behind in 24th overall and in 2nd in terms of rookies.[8]
2018[]
Jackson would return for a third successive season with the AmD team in 2018. Jackson would one up his top ten count for this season with two 9th places and a first ever podium finish for the car with a 3rd place at Brands Hatch's Indy circuit. Even with the podium finish, Jackson could not improve his position in the drivers' standings, once again finishing in 23rd.[9]
2019[]
Prior to the 2019 season, the #48 and its sister car would be sold again, this time to Trade Price Cars Racing, however the cars would still be run by the AmD team.[10] The car, now driven by Mark Blundell and renumbered to the #8, would end up going back to its pre-2017 form, with the car only finishing within the top 20 six during the season and never reaching the top 10. The sister car, also renumbered, now to the #24 and with Jake Hill at the wheel, would end up having the better overall season of the two for the first time, finishing in the top 10 ten different times, getting the car a podium finish at Brands Hatch's Indy circuit (this time a second place) and a first ever win at Knockhill. Hill would finish 15th in the overall standings, while Blundell would finish 27th.[11]
2020[]
The two drivers and numbers would change once again for 2020, with the #8 now the #180 and James Gornall taking over from Blundell. Gornall would manage to get the car back into the top 10 twice at Brands Hatch's GP circuit, but would voluntarily step down before the final three rounds of the season.[12] Paul Rivett would take over the car (renumbered to the #222) for the final two rounds, but would not do much better, never finishing within the top 10. Gornall would end up finishing 20th in the drivers' standings, two positions behind the main driver of the sister car (now the #19), Bobby Thompson, who would also have to step down for the final two rounds, but due to concussion symptoms instead of at his own volition.[13][14]
2020 would end up being the last year for the S3s as Trade Price Cars would merge with Excelr8 Motorsport before the 2021 season, with the combined team switching to Hyundai i30 Ns.[15] As of 2025, the car is currently in possession of Liam Coleman and is being rebuilt into a hill climb/time attack car.[16][17]
