0011//Audi pulls off DTM hat-trick In 2009 Audi became the first car
manufacturer to win the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) three times in a row.
As in the previous season, Audi driver Timo Scheider left all the other challengers in
the dust. “What better way for Audi Sport to mark the centennial year of the Audi
brand,” remarked Board of Management Chairman Rupert Stadler. The hat-trick
added yet another impressive feat to Audi’s long list of achievements in the racing
series. The brand has now notched up seven DTM titles in all. And Audi drivers
made a clean sweep of the honors on four occasions in 2009. 0022//On the
rostrum at Le Mans Audi entered a futuristic racing car in the 77th
24 Hours of Le Mans. Drivers Dindo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish cap-
tured third place on the winner’s rostrum in June 2009 in the R15 TDI prototype’s
first race. The developers of the Audi R15 TDI broke new ground in the areas of
lightweight construction, efficiency and aerodynamics. Key new features included
the compact V10 TDI engine and an electrical system powered by a lithium-ion bat-
tery. Having previously won this race three times in a
row, the brand with the four rings is planning to
pull out all the stops in order to win back the tro-
phy in 2010. 0033//R8 LMS a racing
sensation The Audi R8 LMS exceeded all ex-
pectations in its first racing season. The GT3 sports
car chalked up one victory after another, earning three
championship titles and 23 race wins. The high
points were the victories in the FIA GT3 European
Championship and the ADAC GT Masters in Ger-
many. Findings gleaned from competing in 76
races were channeled directly into the develop-
ment of the final version of the Audi R8 LMS.
Beginning at the end of March 2010, Audi
Sport will be supplying a limited number of this
model to customer teams.
