Audi S1; Picture Perfect…

Scott Mitchell — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:59:12 +0000

Proof that Audi has always and will continue to make outstanding and industry leading vehicles that can stand the test of time… We definitely love new Audi’s – but we can certainly appreciate the Audi’s previous too – its not really as question as to why though “Twenty-three years after the cancellation of Group B, the Audi Sport Quattro S1 is still widely regarded as the most powerful rally car ever fielded in international competition, with the final factory machines of 1986 rated at 441 kW (600 PS; 591 bhp).[1] In addition to Group B competition, the S1 won the 1985 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with Michèle Mouton in the driving seat, setting a world record time in the process. This victory was repeated in 1987, this time at the hands of Walter Röhrl.” says Wiki.

Video: Tribute 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans Audi Victory

Scott Mitchell — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 17:45:41 +0000

This video became very popular yesterday after we published it on the I Am Audi Youtube Channel, so we wanted to officially share it with all our fans. One of our favorite quotes from the video is: “Its not just about the car, nor the engineers nor the drivers – its about one team willing to take up the challenges ahead.” – something I think translates very well to all of our everyday lives. Now we are not the official resource for Le Mans, that title can only be held by George from Fourtitude – his coverage is exceptional. With that said, I Am Audi is passionate about motorsports and hopes to experience the 24 Hours of Le Mans first hand next year – until then, enjoy this very well done “Tribute” to the 2011 Audi Victory at Le Mans!

Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich – Head of Audi Motorsport

Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport): “2011 was no doubt the most difficult Le Mans race we’ve ever contested – but in the end with the sweetest result we’ve ever had as well. From such a difficult situation we managed to recover again on our own power and in the end to defeat – albeit with a narrow margin – our really strong competitors from Peugeot. After eight hours we’d lost two of our three cars and knew that it would be extremely difficult with just one car. The entire squad gave everything to do the best for this car. Of course the drivers had to drive it. And they did a really fantastic job – although it was the squad with the least experience at Le Mans. Of course it’s extremely important that Allan (McNish) Allan (McNish) and Mike (Rockenfeller) came out of both accidents, which were really severe, without any injuries.” Thanks Audizine for the video clip!

Allan McNish – Audi Le Mans Crash

Scott Mitchell — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 17:28:27 +0000

To start we want to say to Allan McNish that we are so happy to see you are OK, and we’re sorry you didn’t get an opportunity to finish the race but the most important thing is that you walked away from this horrific accident. It was nine days ago we had the opportunity to ask Allan 7 Questions on the Fourtitude forums so when we heard this our hearts sank. During that discussion when asked “how do you recover that trust if someone crashes?” Allan replied, “we all have driver errors and crashes, it is called racing and being on the limit. As long as you are honest about mistakes or whatever it gains trust.” And that truly shows your character Allan. I want to end with a huge thank you to Josh Decker from Quattro World for the images he captured of this horrific crash earlier this morning – it’s not easy to keep composed during this type of thing.
