Audi D Type
Although not strictly "historic racing today" the fact that today an Audi D-type put in some runs on the remainder of the Reims GP track, (where the D-type won the 1939 GP) might be reason enough to post it here. I was driving the car that carried the photographers alongside the beast, and I can tell you it is a rare sight to have a D-Type (and not a Jaguar) in you rear view mirrors and to hear the supercharged engine next to you.
The car will be sold auctioned by Bonhams at Quail in August. More here http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3...on-Type-D.html |

Lovely job, Pieter. Now wouldn't that be great to see racing; no doubt would be considered too rare, too valuable etc, erc, though.

Is this the car that was run at the Shelsley Walsh 100th anniversary do in 2005? I have very fond memories of standing between it and the BRM V16 as they were being warmed up in the paddock! Being less than 2 feet away from both sets of exhausts was fantastic but left me with sore ears for the rest of the day!!

I am not sure but I presume that one of the Audi replicas was present at SW. Was it actually a D-Type?

No it was a real one. In fact the car that is shortly to be auctioned.
My memory of it Shelsley is that it was actually rather quiet and made a neat and undramatic ascent of the hill. |
