Audi R15 wins debut at 12 Hours of Sebring
The R8, the R10 and now the R15. Each of Audi’s last three prototype Le Mans race cars have won their race debut, with the latest R15 recording its first victory yesterday at the 57th 12 Hours of Sebring. The winning #2 R15 was driving by Audi’s dream team of Allan McNish, Dindo Capello and Tom Kristensen. Of course, Audi’s win did not come easy in the top tier Le Mans P1 class. Peugeot was right there the whole time with its pair of diesel-powered 908 HDi cars, swapping the lead with Audi a total of 23 times. In fact, both teams remained on the same lap with each other throughout the entire 12-hour race.
