The GTE category already boasts Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Corvette and Chrysler’s Viper. In the print edition of the magazine, you will find pictures of Toyota’s still-borne GTE car, the Lexus LFA, that raced at the Nurburgring under the Gazoo racing banner. Toyota planned to run the car at Le Mans in 2012, but stepped up its LMP1 project from a test programme to a race programme after Peugeot withdrew in January 2012, leaving the GTE as a step too far. -

From Quattro to E-Tron
Audi MediaInfo Audi motorsport history From quattro to e-tron Audi positions itself as the sportiest manufacturer in the premium segment and has a perfect basis to do so: motorsport. Sportiness, advanced technology and emotive design are the basis for the success of the Audi brand. The genes for this have their origin in racing – since 1980. The success story began with the Audi quattro Excluding the era before the Second World War including the legendary Auto Union Grand Prix race cars in the 1930s, the motorsport history of AUDI AG began with the Audi quattro. The dominant victories and two manufacturers’ and two drivers’ titles achieved with the “original quattro” in the World Rally Championship between 1982 and 1984 were an important factor in the market success of quattro drive. quattro victorious in circuit racing as well After Audi had turned rally racing upside down and stormed up Pikes Peak (USA) with the Sport quattro in record time on three successive occasions, Audi made quattro drive fit for circuit racing as well: initially with the Audi 200 quattro and the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO in the United States, in 1990 and 1991 with two championship titles for the Audi V8 quattro in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) – and ultimately also with the A4 in the production- based super touring cars. In 1996, the Audi A4 quattro won championship titles in seven countries. Between 2012 and 2016, the all-wheel drive system returned to the race track as the e-tron quattro. Audi R8 most successful Le Mans sports car in present-day racing After the dominant quattro drive was banned from touring car racing, Audi switched to sports prototypes and underpinned its slogan “Vorsprung durch Technik” in this motorsport category for 18 years as well. -

Using the Adventures of a Comic Book Motorsports Hero As an Approach To
SPORT IN HISTORY, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1080/17460263.2017.1358655 Engines at top speed! Using the adventures of a comic book motorsports hero as an approach to understanding recent French history Sébastien Laffage-Cosniera, Noemi García-Arjonab and Christian Viviera aU-Sports Besançon, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France; bUFR STAPS Rennes, University of Rennes 2, Rennes, France ABSTRACT Jean Graton created a series of comic books called Michel Vaillant, and its motorsports hero bore the same name. Michel Vaillant made his first appearance in 1957 in the weekly Tintin. Young French boys who loved adventure, sports and car racing greeted this publication with great enthusiasm. We studied the first series of Michel Vaillant, composed of 16 comic books produced in the 1960s. We have departed from traditional approaches and have based our method on the analysis of the sources of Graton’s inspiration. We link these sources to the comics’ text bubbles, visual signs and iconic meanings of the drawings. Our analysis of the comics’ iconography based on the establishment of a mass culture dedicated to the automobile brings to light the existence of an urge to go beyond the limits of tradition. Our research highlights that the success of Michel Vaillant is due, in the main, to the series’ detailed knowledge of the automobile sports industry, and to the myths of speed, youth and progress that it promulgates – myths in which its young male readers could see themselves reflected and which would also prepare them for the future. Introduction In 2002, the Sport & Comics Exhibition was held at the International Festival of Comics in Angoulême, France: the Ninth Art had included sport.1 Some time after this, university studies were published which analysed the represen- Downloaded by [Australian Catholic University] at 05:19 25 September 2017 tation of sport in the most well-known comic books. -

Over the next 12 years, Team Seattle raced at Daytona to benefit Children's Heart Center. Team Seattle drivers Kitch, actor Patrick Dempsey and Joe Foster were invited in 2009 to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, the oldest sports car endurance race in the world. Their participation brought worldwide attention and financial support to Children's.
