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.

  • From the Audi R10 TDI Straight Into the A4 DTM
    Ingolstadt, 19 March 2006 Motorsport / 21 days until the start of the 2006 DTM From the Audi R10 TDI straight into the A4 DTM • Le Mans record winner Tom Kristensen swaps in no time at all Spending a lot of time with the family or pursuing hobbies such as cycling and jet skiing at home in Hobro, Denmark, are unlikely propositions for Tom Kristensen AUDI AG this year. In the 2006 season, the 38-year-old Audi factory driver is shouldering as Kommunikation 85045 Ingolstadt many as two racing commitments: In the Audi A4 DTM, he contests Europe’s www.audi.com most popular touring car series which is scheduled to start at Hockenheim on April 9th and, in addition, he is part of Audi’s ambitious diesel project in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The differences between these two racing disciplines notwithstanding, there is one thing they have in common: Tom Kristensen is considered one of the hot favourites in both. As many as seven times Kristensen has won the world’s most famous endurance race in France, now being the record holder. After his victory in the Audi R10 TDI at Sebring (Florida) this weekend, the new diesel sportscar’s debut, the Dane will be flying on Sunday night directly from Miami to London, where the official DTM tests at Brands Hatch are scheduled to start on Monday. There, Kristensen will be taking the wheel of his new Audi A4 DTM – bearing the internal designation “R12 plus” – for the first time. Yet the record holder has no problem switching from the 650-hp open-air sports prototype to the DTM touring car in which he claimed third place in the Championship last year: “No matter whether I climb into the R10 TDI or the A4 DTM – I always immediately feel that I’m sitting in an Audi.” Tomorrow: Tests in the DTM – every day counts Communication Motorsport Telephone +49 (0)841 89 34200, fax +49 (0)841 89 38617 E-Mail [email protected] Photographs, sound bites and additional information on the Internet: www.audi-motorsport.info (Accreditation necessary) 1/1 .

  • Der Stille Schnelle – Armin Hahne – Fahrerportrait TWC 2019
    Der stille Schnelle – Armin Hahne – Fahrerportrait TWC 2019 Rainer Braun Wenn Armin Hahne (63) demnächst am Nürburgring beim Oldtimer-GP oder auch vier Wochen später im Rahmen des nächsten TWC-Laufs im DTM- Rahmenprogramm als einer der ganz heißen Titelkandidaten wieder mal ins Cockpit seines ehemaligen Würth-Sierra RS 500 mit der Startnummer 25 steigt und gemeinsam mit Fahrzeug-Eigner Volker Schneider auf Punktejagd geht, wird er bei der Passage eines bestimmten Streckenabschnitts unweigerlich an den 30. April 1989 denken. An diesem Tag, vor genau 30 Jahren, startete der Rheinländer als Ford Werksfahrer in eben jenem Ford Sierra RS 500 als einer der Top-Favoriten und konnte am Ende des Tages froh und glücklich sein, den wohl brutalsten Crash der frühen DTM-Geschichte lebend überstanden zu haben. Auf dem schnellen Bergauf-Stück nach der Dunlop-Kehre hatte sich Klaus Ludwig im Mercedes gedreht und blieb entgegen der Fahrtrichtung mitten auf der Piste stehen. Die ersten nachfolgenden Autos konnten gerade noch ausweichen, aber Hahne war die Sicht verdeckt. Als der Pulk vor ihm auseinanderfächerte, war er chancenlos. Frontal und ungebremst krachte der RS 500 in den stehenden Mercedes – bei knapp 200 km/h. So einen fürchterlichen Frontal-Crash hatte ich ebenso wie die meisten TV-Zuschauer noch nie zuvor gesehen. Ich bin damals als Kommentator der Liveübertragung in 3sat vor Schreck fast vom Stuhl gefallen und dachte im ersten Moment, dass beide tot sind. Gleich mehrere über dem Szenario schwebende Schutzengel und die seinerzeit schon sehr gute Sicherheitsausrüstung der DTM-Autos haben ermöglicht, dass beide überlebten. Hahne wurde mit komplizierten Frakturen am rechten Bein und linken Arm aus dem Wrack befreit, Ludwig kam mit Prellungen und einem Schock besser weg.

  • First Test of the Audi R8 Against Opposition Roll Outs at Nürburgring
    27 April 1999 First test of the Audi R8 against opposition Next Sunday’s pre-qualifying for the Le Mans 24 Hours is the first major test for the Audi R8 against major opposition. Six weeks before the race, Audi Sport aims to qualify the four car line-up for the traditional race at La Sarthe in June. „The pre-qualifying is the first opportunity to test the car on the Le Mans track“, explains Audi‘s Head of Sport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. „This is extremely meaningful for us since we are newcomers.“ Roll outs at Nürburgring and Silverstone Each car has a time limit of just six hours to pre-qualify on Sunday hence the preparations are meticulous. Dr Ullrich: „The cars have been stripped down and re-built completely after the recent tests.“ In order to be prepared perfectly, both teams will do a roll out to check every part before they go to Le Mans. Audi Sport Team Joest will shake down the two open- topped R8Rs at the Nürburgring while Audi Sport UK will test the enclosed R8C at Silverstone. Line-ups will be defined on Saturday night The teams will qualify on Sunday in two separate groups. Only after the final scrutineering on Saturday night will organisers define which cars will start on Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon. Both Audi Teams will attempt to pre-qualify on the 2 May. „Our goal is to get familiar with the track in the best possible way“, explains Dr Ullrich. During pre-qualifying, 10 of the 12 Audi drivers will be present.
