Audi at FIA WEC prologue in Le Castellet
Audi warmed up for the fifth FIA World #endurance Championship WEC season at the prologue in Le Castellet. Over the Easter weekend, the new #audi R18 encountered for the first time the LMP1 racecars produced by the other two automobile manufacturers. “This was however no show of strength in respect of the season opener at Silverstone in three weeks time,” said Dieter Gass, Deputy Head of #audi Sport. “We have made many excellent findings during this test, which we must now implement technically.” Marcel Fässler/André Lotterer/Benoît Tréluyer (CH/D/F) performed the test work on Friday and Saturday. After the end of the prologue, Lucas di Grassi/Loïc Duval/Oliver Jarvis (BR/F/GB) continue the test on Sunday and Monday on the high-speed circuit in Southern France.

New livery for the #audi #r8 LMS
The #audi #r8 LMS is starting to the new season sporting a fresh livery. In the 24-hour races at the Nürburgring and at Spa, the GT3 race cars supported by #audi are going to compete in hues of silver, red and black. The conspicuous choice of colors and their geometric surfaces embodies #audi Sport’s new look and takes its cue from the livery of the #audi R18 LMP1 race car. A 28-degree angle defined by the red rhomb is the central design element. The rhomb on the roof emphasizes #audi Sport’s central position. The new silver hue creates more depth and underscores the raised power, red underscores sportiness while the mat-black areas visually reinforce the proportions.
Premiere with three race drivers

Three race drivers accompanied the premiere: Edoardo Mortara from the DTM, and Marchy Lee and Alex Yoong from the #audir8lmscup welcomed the members of the media and other guests in Hong Kong.
