What it takes to Win LeMans

[KC]

The scale of the effort required just to show up and race is an amazing thing for LeMans. This is what the Team Joest Audi Sport effort requires...

Five articulated trucks of equipment for the cars alone.
Three fully built and ready to race chassis.
Five complete spare engines.
Three complete spare transmissions with suspensions sets.
Six spare radiator sets.
Six spare nose cones.
Five spare rear bodysets and wings.
Five pairs of spare side pods.
52 spare shock absorbers.
112 racing tires mounted on wheels.
Minimum of 2660 liters of racing fuel.

The crew and team consist of 235 technical and public relations personnel.
Audi will publish 14,000 copies of Audi Express, a daily newspaper reporting on the exploits of the team.
None of this includes the foodstuffs, celebratory items should they win, and miscellaneous other support apparatus employed by the team.
