AUDI'S R15 TDI // 2009 LE MANS CHAMPION?

Audi has unveiled their R15 TDI LMP1 entry ahead of it’s formal launch at this years Sebring 12 Hours. Said to be a highly developed and technically advanced version of their R10 TDI, a car that went undefeated in Le Mans competition, the R15 has completed it’s first round of tests and according to Wolfgang Ulrich, Head of Audi Motorsport, "the R15 TDI has performed as we expected. Now it must also prove itself in race conditions. Sebring is a particularly hard race and is therefore perfectly suited to reveal even the smallest of weaknesses.”

We like what we see so far, and are eagerly awaiting the Sebring 12 Hour, as ColdTrackDays correspondent Phil Woodard will be live at Sebring to capture all of the action. Stay tuned
