Apart from the lights, what have we actually learnt from this announcement?
Audi kind of blew all their exclusives with the PR shots last week. At least we have confirmation of three cars at Le Mans - not that that's a surprise. |

Looks substantially different from last year´s R18, why haven´t they labelled it with a higher number - or R18+ at least?

Even the new Audi Sport HQ deal isn't that new--Audi announced the ground-breaking of it around the time of the Shanghai WEC round. The new facility will be the main HQ for Audi Sport, and the facility is just a few minutes drive from Inglostadt.

Missed opportunity really not to have Dr Ullrich singing this karaoke style:

Not really much news coming out. I was hoping for an announcement of new driver lineup.

According to Sportscar365, Audi will enter a third car for Le Mans.

The old lights had failed them for the last time!

I'm still wondering whether this is the final livery. It's black, so it is cool, but other than that, there is not much design going on. Very rudimentary even by Audi's standards (yak: R15+).

Oh for Christ's sake, such an Audi fan as I am, I can't stand their ridiculous PR strategy. It's like bombarding a place for a year but only one bomber is sent everyday. No one is robbing audience from you guys! I want more than being flirted for 24 secs every day....
Thanks for keeping us updated, deggis. ![]() |

No chance of Rockefeller at Le Mans, as he is defending his DTM crown, and DTM races clash with Spa, and the LM testday:

Back to the old R18 for a moment: the link that Japanese Samurai posted in the TS030 thread also has photos and specs on the previous generation R18 family and it's engine. Article is in Japanese, though, but I'll post the link if one wants to look at the photos:
