  • Audi Secures Second Starting Position in Qualifying Thriller Quotes After
    Portland, 4 August 2001 Audi secures second starting position in qualifying thriller Spectators along Portland International Raceway will find a rather unusual picture on Sunday: For the first time in almost 15 months there is not an Audi at the front of the starting grid. After a qualifying thriller for the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) round at Portland, Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen had to relinquish pole position to the fastest Panoz. Team mates Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro in the companion Infineon Audi R8 will start the race from third place. During only 20 minutes of qualifying on the circuit situated in the US state of Oregon, the Audi drivers executed exciting duels with a lot of position changes on the time screen. The Audi Sport North America team not only fought against the two Panoz cars, but also against the 2000-spec Champion Audi R8 of Andy Wallace and Johnny Herbert. At the end, the former Formula 1 driver achieved fifth position on the grid. The race starts on Sunday at 13 hours local time and runs over a distance of 2:45 hours. Tom Kristensen (#1) and Frank Biela (#2) will start the race in the two Infineon Audi R8s. Quotes after qualifying Rinaldo Capello (#1): “Concerning our tire choice, we were a little bit conservative in qualifying. We knew we would not be that strong in this session because we wanted to work mainly for the race tomorrow.” Tom Kristensen (#1): “Of course it’s a little bit disappointing to be so close to pole and then have to start only from second position.

  • Audi in the American Le Mans Series – from Sebring to Adelaide
    Audi in the American Le Mans Series – From Sebring to Adelaide The Le Mans 24 Hour race ended with a clear triple victory for Audi in 2000. This classic is not only one of the greatest challenges in international motorsport, it is at the same time one of the most popular sporting events in the world. For two years a new championship has been run specifically for the fascinating Le Mans sportscars: The American Le Mans Series (ALMS). The Team Audi Sport North America competed in the twelve round series for the first time in 2000 – with huge success: Two races before the season final, Audi already clinched both the manufacturers´ and the drivers‘ titles. At nine out of twelve rounds an Audi R8 crossed the finish line first. Audi celebrated six double victories. With a triumph at the season final in Australia’s Adelaide, AUDI AG crowned one of the most successful years of its long motorsport tradition. A summary of the ALMS races: Sebring: Audi takes off with a dream start into the 2000 season. Team Audi Sport North America celebrates a double victory at the 12 hour classic in Florida, despite one of the two R8 losing precious time after a tyre puncture. The third-placed BMW is one lap behind. 1. Biela/Kristensen/Pirro (Audi R8) 360 laps 2. Alboreto/Capello/McNish (Audi R8) + 39.111s 3. Lehto/Müller (BMW) - 1 lap 4.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
