ALMS: Two new Audi R15 TDIs at Sebring openerFrom Audi Sport Press Release
Audi Sport Team Joest will contest the notorious 12-hour race at Sebring, Florida on 21 March with two Audi R15 TDIs. The American endurance classic will act as stern test and dress rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 13 /14 June 2009. The new Audi R15 TDI is packed with numerous technically innovative detail solutions and differs significantly from its predecessor model the R10 TDI, which was undefeated at Le Mans. The first tests with the new LMP1 prototype have been successfully completed. Proven drivers will sit at the wheel of the two new prototypes. One driver line-up is formed by defending Le Mans winners Dindo Capello (Italy), Tom Kristensen (Denmark) and Allan McNish (Scotland). Germans Lucas Luhr, Mike Rockenfeller and Marco Werner take turns at the wheel of the sister R15 TDI. Photos: Audi
