As a follow up to my recent article about last week’s Generac 500 race at Road America in Wisconsin; Audi and their supremely powerful turbo diesel R10’s finished with the overall first and second place finish in the LMP1 class. It was the second consecutive time in the American LeMans Series that Audi has come in with the top two spots.
Audi: 1-2 finish in Lemans Series
In case you’re keeping track, the Audi R10 is powered by a 5.5 liter V12 diesel engine with two turbochargers. This produces in excess of 650 horsepower and 1100 NM of torque.
Audi TDI Engine
David Brabham and Scott Sharp finished third overall and took their third LMP2 victory of the season for their Acura-based team. GT1 was won by Jan Magnussen and Jonny O’Connell of Corvette Racing who are also a regular fixture in the winner’s circle.
Corvette Racing at Road America
The Corvette Racing Team has won 6 of the last 7 races in their class. The Farnbacher Loles Porsche team and their 911GT3-RSR round took home first prize in GT2.
