R8

  • Rain brings “Petit Le Mans” race to an early end
  • Classification after less than five of the scheduled 10 hours
  • Audi R15 TDI winner of the “Michelin GreenX Challenge”

Ingolstadt/Atlanta – Audi Sport Team Joest’s test entry in the 1000-mile “Petit Le Mans” race at Road Atlanta (U.S. state of Georgia) had an unexpected outcome: The American endurance classic had to be red flagged just before half-time due to torrential rainfall. Although Audi had led almost entirely, the two R15 TDI prototypes were only classified in third and fourth positions. Small consolation: The Diesel-powered racing car won the efficiency award “Michelin GreenX Challenge” – a trophy awarded to the most environmentally friendly car.
