The Original

Audi remains a dominant force in sports car racing, with their R8. For the 2002 season the outside of the car is only modified slightly as it proved a winning car in the 2001 season. Under the carbon body sits a FSI direct fuel injection engine. In an FSI engine the exact amount of necessary fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber applying a pressure of 100 bars. The effects are a lowered fuel consumption, an increase of power at low revs and a better response.The enormous rigidity of its carbon fibre chassis sets new safety standards. The transmission of power to the Michelin-shod rear wheels goes via a sequential six-speed gearbox which is activated pneumatically by gear shift paddles on the steering wheel. Gear shifting is considerably more precise than it would be manually and only causes mininum wear – a decisive factor for long distance races.A few months later at LeMans the Audis were stronger than ever with an all-Audi podium. The victory of the Pirro/Biela/Kristensen driven #1 Audi was never in danger as they secured the third consecutive Audi victory at the 24 Hours of LeMans race.
