Motorsport history was created last weekend at Sebring in the USA as Audi became the first manufacturer to win a major international motor race with a diesel-fuelled car.
Making its world race debut the new Audi R10 of Dindo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish won the 12-hour race at Sebring, with Kristensen becoming the first driver to win America's most famous endurance race for the fourth time. The Lola B05/40 AER of Jon Field, Liz Halliday and Clint Field won the LMP2 class with second overall, ahead of the GT1-winning Corvette C6 of Jan Magnussen Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta. Australian Jason Bright co-driving the Aston Martin DB9 with Pedro Lamy and Stephane Sarrazin finished fourth overall and second in GT1. Fellow Aussie David Brabham won the GT2 class after he and co-drivers Scot Maxwell and Champ Car star Sebastian Bourdais drove their Panoz Esperante GTLM to ninth overall. http://www.audi.com/audi/com/en1/exp...di_engine.html http://www.audi.com/audi/com/en1/exp...t_Sebring.html http://www.audi.com/audi/com/en1/exp..._Le_Mans.htmll http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image%3...10_V12_TDI.jpg |
