First Racing Commitment of the Audi R18 TDI
Communications Motorsport Jürgen Pippig Eva-Maria Veith Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 34200 Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 33922 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.audi-motorsport.info First racing commitment of the Audi R18 TDI • Le Mans “dress rehearsal” at the 1000-kilometer race at Spa (Belgium) • Record field comprising 60 sports prototypes and GT cars • Audi Sport Team Joest competes with three cars Ingolstadt, April 29, 2011 – Now the action will begin in earnest. After thousands of test kilometers including the recent test day at Le Mans, the new Audi R18 TDI is ready for its first race. At the 1000-kilometer race at Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) on May 7, Audi Sport Team Joest will perform its “dress rehearsal” for the Le Mans 24 Hours. The racing debut of a new race car is always a very special event and Audi Sport has good experiences in this regard. Since 2000 every new sports prototype of the brand with the four rings has won its first race. In 2000, 2006 and 2009 Sebring in Florida (USA) was the venue of the respective debut victories of the R8, R10 TDI and R15 TDI models. The updated R15 TDI, internally designated as “R15 plus,” won its maiden race as well, at Le Castellet (France). Now Spa-Francorchamps is the track to see the debut of the latest LMP1 sports car made by Audi which turns the company’s ultra-lightweight technology into a visual experience and which is equipped with a new type of ultra-compact V6 TDI engine. -

Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance". -

WATKINS GLEN, 2016 RISI FLIES SOLO AGAINST BIG TEAMS FIGHTING THE ONESIE vs TWOSIE BATTLE AROUND THE WHEEL witH Cooper MacNeil Few things on a car have changed more than the once humble steering wheel introduced by Alexander Winton nearly 120 years ago.

The bottom is Reverse: Driver engages to permit reverse gear use flat. 24 HOURS Map: Fuel map, multiple positions to optimize “There isn’t enough room in the cockpit for a round wheel fuel use/performance to clear the driver’s legs,” said MacNeil, who rarely turns the T.C: Adjust traction control to minimize wheel more than 30 or 40 degrees. wheel spin “There are a dozen buttons or knobs on the wheel, plus the OF LE MANS gearbox paddle shifters mounted on the back of the wheel,” said Driver selects fields for dash display Display: MacNeil. -
