Recall that the last 24 of Le Mans, the Audi R15 Plus you won but for the many errors and other problems of the French House. To inspire a radical reversal of trend for the realization of this ... "Coupe" Audi, Once this has been shown not only the extreme competitiveness in the 24 hours, French was the "R8C Peugeot." In addition, it was found that "one of the advantages that could boast a Sport Open was the speed of replacement of the pilot interventions in the pits and, with the new rules, with only two mechanics allowed for the replacement of tires (and remember Ullrich the same), that advantage disappears. " Furthermore, the reduction of engine power, better aerodynamics provided by tandem closed becomes a necessary solution.
A lot of successes - Audi has swept the Le Mans race in France for nine times since 1999. R8, R10 and R15 TDI TDI are the names of beasts, with the latest diesel engine, which won for the house of Ingolstadt.
Missile asphalt - The aerodynamics will be increasingly important in the future in Les Mans, said Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. Indeed, the new R18 has a single shell that is a single piece of carbon fiber, which provides lightweight, but does increase the stiffness, aerodynamics comes from the previous R models, but the engine is smaller: 3.7-liter V6 TDI, with a six-speed transmission.

The new LMP1 Ingolstadt is in fact such as the Peugeot 908 rivals to a two-seater with closed bodywork that Audi is new, with the exceptions of 1999 and the R8C Bentley Speed \u200b\u200b8. This is a technical choice dictated by the new ACO regulations, which require new engines also downsized. The House of the Four Rings has again opted for a diesel engine, a 3.7-liter V6 with a new 6-speed gearbox which replaces the previous 5.5-liter V10 unit that can later be fitted with KERS. The race debut is scheduled for May 8, 2011 at 6 o'clock in the LMS Spa-Francorchamps, while April 24 will take part in official tests for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2011 to be held on 11 and 12 June. On the track Sarthe Audi will field three for Team Joest R18, which will be also the new Intercontinental Cup Le Mans with two cars, while the 12 Hours of Sebring (March 19) will be present with the Audi R15 plus plus.
