Audi RS6 Avant -"The family estate that's as fast as a Ferrari"

Such a shame and he is the fastest driver in Audi.
Well we should thank god he is alive.....
And seeing the faces in the audi garage says it all of how bad it was....
Also thats one strong car....

Accident number two befalls Audi with an equally horrific crash. I can't recall a year where one team has had such bad luck.

An Audi has done it once again, incredible. Congrats to the whole team.
AM so exhausted by only listening it.... puffff!
This is unbelievable!
10th Victory!!! Congrats to Audi and all of the team members. What a race, what a driver, what a car??!! Just imagine what they did with that car, qualification laps even after 24 hours of racing, pushing through the whole race with only a few secodns in front of the Peugeot. Insane. So it is 10 victories so far, thus came up to the second place in the overall ranking, after Porsche, overtaking Ferrari this year. I would love to see Audi equalling and next year overtaking Porsche in the absolute wins!
Oh and one more thing: Have You seen Rupert Stadler celebrating with the team after the finish? That moment demonstrated the human characteristics within Audi! It was great to see!
5 Audis so far...currently:
2007 Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI Multitronic
Was it 10th or 11th?!Originally Posted by Toto89
A thrilling race, I missed only 3 hours of it so I am rather tried at the moment. One can only imagine how thrilling it could have been if none of the Audis had crashed.
I doubt anyone will ever surpass their number of wins in so few times competing.

The incredible weight that youngest team had placed on their shoulders after the two elder teams retired is just unbelievable. Just awesome the level all three drivers (and team) gave!

10 wins out of 12. But you could say that it was actually 11 out of 12 because the Bentley was effectively an Audi anyway.

Actually it is 10 out of 13. Audi didn't win in 1999 (first year), 2003 (Bentley) and 2009 (Peugeot won).

Quite right, I forget about their first attempt where they finished third and forth. But if you think about it they effectively won 10 times in a row if you include the Bentley(Audi), this is unbelievable and unheard of in Le Mans history.

Am still speechless about this whole race! BRAVO Audi! It's so nice being your fan today!
Where next for Audi, do they continue with Le Mans and DTM or should they look at rallying again and possibly F1?

Definitely to continue in Le Mans! There is no doubt. F1 is only for adverts and tv viewers, no else than sensation. It is miserable with those stupid and theatrical rules like DRS system, 3 kinds of tyres for dry track and the fact that you can win the race by spare a set of tyres on the qualification. Not serious and has no connection with road cars, that's why Audi races in Le Mans. The developments made there can be applied on the streets a few years later. I keep think that the rise of Audi among it's competitors in the last years was due to Le Mans.

No doubt about it that F1 is nothing more than a pissing contest between the manufacturers, but surely this is a pissing contest that Volkswagen as a group needs to be in, if not under the banner of Audi then one of it's many other brand names.
My point was more that what next is there for Audi in Le Mans, it's effectively won everything there needs to be won here and done so more convincingly than any other manufacturer ever. I would personally love to see Audi tackle rallying again, the French teams have had it their own way for far too long now and as for F1, well I am sure that when the new ruling comes in on 2013 were small capacity turbo come into play then Audi can use it to showcase it's vast experience of FI and FSI to the full.
I would wager that inside VAG the cogs are already turning to the possibility of entering F1.
