Audi makes Le Mans history again
Le Mans: In front of 238,400 spectators Audi achieved a historic one-two-three
victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours: all three Audi R15 TDI cars entered by Audi Sport
Team Joest surpassed the record distance, considered to be unbeatable, which the
Porsche 917 completed in 1971 when the Hunaudiθres Straight at Le Mans had no
chicanes. The three Audi R15 TDI cars ran without the slightest technical problem at
the fastest race in Le Mans history. Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Mike
Rockenfeller celebrated their first Le Mans victory. For Audi, it was the ninth victory
at Le Mans – and the first one achieved with VTG turbo-charging.

Podium result for the Audi R8 LMS
VLN: By merely 0.240 seconds Frank Stippler and Hans-Joachim Stuck in the Audi R8
LMS of the Phoenix Racing team missed victory at round four of the VLN Endurance
Championship at the Nόrburgring. As early as on the second lap Frank Stippler
moved to the front of the field. The Audi duo extended its lead to one minute. Fog
and rain, however, caused the group of the front runners to move closer together in
the final phase. On the last lap, Hans-Joachim Stuck fought a captivating duel with
the subsequent winner Chris Mamerow. Stuck merely had to settle for second place
on the final meters.
