Audi competed in the 24 Hours o Le Mans or the rst
time ten years ago. The brand recorded eight victories
since its rst start in 1999 and has made history with
the R8 and R10 TDI models. Both won on their Le Mans
premiere and represents Vorsprung durch Technik. The
Audi R8 introduced the gasoline direct injection TFSI
and with the R10 TDI in 2006 a diesel sports car won
the 24 Hours o Le Mans or the rst time. The Audi R15
TDI ollows this tradition: It diers radically rom its
predecessor and symbolizes technological innovation such
as the lithium ion battery as component o an innovative
vehicle power supply system. The new Audi R15 TDI won on
its premiere in March. Audi aims
to continue this winning streak at
Le Mans.

Audi has contested the Le Mans 24 Hour race since 1999,
and has recorded eight victories with actory or customer
supported teams in probably the worlds hardest endurance
race. Ten years ater its Le Mans debut, and to mark its
tenth anniversary, the brand with the our rings has a
special chance: Just like the Audi R8 in the year 2000 and
with the Audi R10 TDI during the 2006 season, the new
Audi R15 TDI aims to win the motorsport classic in France
at the rst attempt. The rst diesel race sports car o the
second generation made a successul premiere on March
21, 2009 in Florida. Audi won the Sebring 12 Hour race
rst time out with Dindo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan
McNish and another R15 TDI also claimed the third step on
the podium.

Audi Sport Team Joest elds three o the powerul
600 hp plus sports cars in the Le Mans 24 Hour race.
Because there is no test day this year and the majority o
the track consists o public highways, which must be closed
o, the Audi R15 TDI will only make its rst exploratory laps
o the traditional 13.629 kilometer track during the weeko the event between June 8 and 14. Audi prepared itsel by
running diverse simulations and tests on the track in the
Sarthe region.
The driver line-up is very amiliar with the track, which
is a great bonus. Last years winners Dindo Capello/Tom
Kristensen/Allan McNish compete with start number 1.
Lucas Luhr/Mike Rockeneller/Marco Werner share the
number 2 Audi R15 TDI. Alexandre Prmat starts with twonewcomers in car number 3: His French countryman Romain
Dumas and the German Timo Bernhard were signed by Audi
in April or the 24 Hour race.
258,500 spectators visited the 24 Hours o Le Mans
last year and, in doing so, they set a new record or the
event existing since 1923. The ans can look orward to a
particularly erce battle this year: No less than 20 LMP1
prototypes, including nine diesel sports cars, are among the
55 starters in the eld.The Audi R TDIhas the chance, like the R8 and
R10 TDI to win on its Le Mans

Three race cars from Audi Sport
Approximately 200 employees in Ingolstadt and
Neckarsulm are primarily responsible or developing and
testing the race cars. Audi Sport is aliated with AUDI AGs
Technical Development (TE) and is thereore answerable to
Michael Dick, Board Member or Technical Development.
Head o Audi Sport since November 1993 is Austrian
Dr. Wolgang Ullrich. Audi Sport was restructured and
aligned or the uture in 2007. Towards the end o 2009
Audi Sport will complete the construction o the rst stageo a customer sport center in Ingolstadt or the new GT3
motorsport program.
New routes in customer sport
Audi has developed three race cars or the 2009 season:
The A4 DTM o the R14 plus model range as successor to the
R14 or the DTM, the R15 TDI as rst diesel race sports car
o the second generation and the R8 LMS or international
GT3 customer motorsport.
While Audi Sport in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm continue to
look ater the actory motorsport program, the organization
or GT3 customer racing was systematically expanded.
Absolute responsibility or development is in the hands oAudi Sport in Ingolstadt. At the same time two other sites
are integrated in this project: The engine or the race car
originates rom Gyr in Hungary. The bodyshell construction
and nishing o the Audi R8 LMS are carried out by the
quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm.

Second generation diesel racing sports car
AUDI AG is the worlds rst automobile manuacturer to
develop a second generation diesel racing sports car.
Audi aims to underline its supremacy and consolidate its
expertise in car technology once more at the legendary
24 Hours o Le Mans with the all-new Audi R15 TDI.
The 24 Hours o Le Mans is particularly suited or this:
Not only ast but also ecient and economical cars are
specically required or the French endurance classic.Lightweight construction, environmentally riendly drive
concepts and well-thought out aerodynamics are the
ocus o attention at Le Mans just as they are during the
development o production cars. For this purpose the
regulations intentionally give the engineers plenty o
reedom.
Audi Sport ully exploited this creative reedom and put
a new LMP1 race car on the track that diers signicantly
rom all previous Le Mans sports cars. The R15 TDI hasmany detailed technical solutions never seen beore on
The Audi R15 TDI is radically
dierent to its predecessor

a sports prototype, says Head o Audi Motorsport Dr.
Wolgang Ullrich. To a certain extent we ollowed entirely
new routes.
The heart o the R15 TDI is a newly developed V10 TDI
engine producing more than 600 hp, with a maximumtorque output in excess o 1,050 Newton meters and which
refects the latest version o the TDI Technology invented
by Audi. The power unit is more compact and lighter than
the twelve-cylinder engine used in the preceding R10 TDI
model. The specic uel consumption and associated CO2
emissions could also be reduced. Innovations in the turbo-
charging and uel injection areas simultaneously ensure
improved engine response. The R15 TDI is also equipped
with a new generation o even lighter diesel particle ltersas part o a titanium exhaust system.
The new sports cars aerodynamics, which play a particularly
important role at Le Mans, are extremely rened. In similar
ashion to the victorious DTM 2008 Audi A4, the airfow
around and through the car was optimized with CFD
(Computational Fluid Dynamics). Included among the many
innovative detail solutions which can be spotted at rst
glance are a rear wing suspended rom the top and a high
nose.
The on board

new lithium ion
battery is one o
many innovations

The vehicle electrical system in the Le Mans sports car is
entirely new: A lithium-ion battery, as ound in some hybrid
vehicles, is used or the rst time. It is lighter than the
conventional battery and supplies a higher voltage.
Numerous innovative approaches are also hidden in the
chassis and suspension o the diesel sports car. Due to
the aerodynamic concept the ront and rear suspension
have been raised. Thanks to a longer wheelbase and theoptimized vehicle weight the R15 TDI is signicantly more
agile than its predecessor.
Included among the modications or Le Mans are the
modied gear ratios and aerodynamic conguration, which
optimizes the relationship between lit (downorce) and
drag or the high-speed track. Average lap speeds o
240 kph are achieved here. Audi prepared the R15 TDI
or the 24-hour race by completing thousands o test
kilometers. The eect o the weight increase by 30 to 930
kilograms initiated at short notice by the organizer was also
tested in this phase. Another regulation change, althougho less infuence, slows the reueling time through the
introduction o a reduced section hose.
Audi is the only automobile manuacturer to have won the
amous 24 Hours o Le Mans with a diesel car. With the
R15 TDI we have created the base to be in a position to win
also in 2009, says Head o Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang
Ullrich.
Light-weight, environmentally friendly drive concepts and good
aerodynamics are just as important at Le Mans as in production cars

fange moved towards the chassis

Winning team
Audi starts the 24 Hours o Le Mans 2009 with an
exceptionally successul, rejuvenated driver line-up. Since
the year 2000 at least one o the current Audi drivers has
always mounted the top step o the podium.
Eight-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen rom Denmark,
the two-time winner Allan McNish rom Scotland as well
as the Italian Dindo Capello, who has won the classic three
times up to now, share the cockpit o start number 1.
The German trio Lucas Luhr, Mike Rockeneller and Marco
Werner go to race with the start number 2. Werner won the
24-hour marathon at the Sarthe three times in succession
between 2005 and 2007, Luhr and Rockeneller have also
scored overall and class victories in other 24-hour races.
The Frenchmen Alexandre Prmat and Romain Dumas share
the Audi R15 TDI with start number 3 with the German Timo
Bernhard. While Prmat competes or Audi in the DTM and
sports car since 2007, Dumas and Bernhard make their Audi
debut in 2009. The two new signings are Porsche actory
drivers and have received special permission rom their
employer. A winning streak unites them: In 2007 and 2008
they won the American Le Mans Series LMP2 class, in 2008
the Sebring 12 Hour race and since 2007, the Nrburgring
24 Hour race as well.

Unique track
The 24 Hours o Le Mans has been held since 1923. Till today
the track has retained its character o being a temporary
construction: The Circuit des 24 Heures uses a part o the
permanent Circuit Bugatti race track, however, by ar the
largest part consists o public highways, which are closed-of
especially or the race. Tricky bumps, tram-lines ormed by
heavy trucks and public highway asphalt conditions are only
three consequences o this compromise which challenge the
drivers.
A maximum speed o 405 kph was achieved on the
Hunaudires straight in 1988. Since 1990 two chicanes
articially slow this section o track. Nevertheless, the Audi
R15 TDI is still quicker than 300 kph in ve places: Beore
the two chicanes, approaching Mulsanne and heading down
towards the amous Indianapolis curve and beore the
Porsche Curves. The amount o ull-throttle per lap is over
75 per cent. At an assumed lap time o 3m 30s this would
mean that the drivers are at ull throttle or 2m 27s.

No other manuacturer has managed to make a lasting
impression within such a short space o time in the Le Mans
24 Hour race as Audi. With eight wins rom ten starts the
brand with the our rings has demonstrated Vorsprung
durch Technik impressively in probably the worlds hardest
car race. I you include the victory in 2003 recorded by
the Bentley Speed 8, which was equipped by Audi Sport
developed TSFI engine, then Audi Technology is unbeaten at
Le Mans since 2000.
The Le Mans project began in 1997 when Audi searched or
a new motorsport discipline ater the superior quattro drive
was banned rom touring car racing. Audi claimed a podium
nish in 1999 when the rst Le Mans prototype made its
debut. At that time two open-topped Audi R8R elded
by Audi Sport Team Joest started the race. Two Audi R8C
Coups developed by Audi subsidiary RTN in Great Britain
and entered by Audi Sport UK also started but, however,ailed to make the nish.
Audi entered the history booksater the direct injection TFSI won in 2001
and the frst diesel win with TDI in 2006
Allan McNish, Dindo Capello and
Tom Kristensen recorded the eighth
