Race Incident

For this coming season Audi will cease using their successful R10 Le Mans Prototype and will bring the R15 TDI to track. On March 21 the R15 will debut during the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. According to Dr. Wolfgang Ulrich, head of motorsport at Audi, the step from the R10 to the R15 is much bigger than it was from the R8 to the R10. The new prototype comes equipped with a smaller, lighter and more efficient TDI engine.

The first private tests of the new LMP1 prototype are scheduled for later this year and the car will only be presented to the public immediately before the race at Sebring, in preparation for the three car assault in the 24 Hours of Le Mans later in the year.
