SEBRING,
Florida (March 4, 2010) – The long wait (and we hope the winter too) is
over – it’s time for Spring Break and the annual trek south to the 12 Hours
of Sebring. True, it has not been so warm in Florida this year as we are
wont to see; however, even in our warm clothes we look forward to blooms and
green leaves we will not see up here until Le Mans – and a good look at the
beautiful cars that have been prepared for our delectation all winter.
Following a successful Winter Test, anticipation and interest are building
as we get a look at the initial entry list for the greatest and most
demanding endurance race in America.

INGOLSTADT
(March 5, 2010) – Exactly 100 days from now we’ll know who has won
the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With eight victories under his belt, Audi "factory"
driver Tom Kristensen is the "King of Le Mans" and knows exactly what counts
at Le Mans. Starting today, he will provide some exclusive insights behind
the scenes of the world’s most exclusive endurance race and the preparation
by Audi Sport Team Joest.
"Hej motorsport fans! I’m very happy that from this week forward I’ll have
the opportunity to tell you a little bit about the race of the year. Le Mans
is my great passion and one of the biggest challenges that exist in
motorsport. But most of all it’s a race that perfectly fits our times and
Audi. Le Mans is very much about efficiency and reliability, not just about
speed. And very few people can imagine how much work and know-how are being
invested in a Le Mans victory. This makes Audi’s accomplishments at Le Mans
over the past few years – initially with the
TFSI engine and with the TDI since 2006 – even
more remarkable. -->MORE
