    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 targets ninth victory with

    new design and strong driver line-up

    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

    premiere

    Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Dindo Capello won in Le Mans

    last year and recorded the rst win or the Audi R15 TDI

    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

    the Audi R10 TDI

    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

    electrics

    incorporating a

    new lithium ion

    battery is one o

    many innovations

    rear-wing

    mounting

    aerodynamics

  • 7/30/2019 Audi Sport Prototypes Booklet (English, 2009)

    10/44

    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

    The wheel rim, with its mounting

    fange moved towards the chassis

    center line, increases the wheel

    stiness

    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.

    Audi Technology leading the way since 2000

    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

    Le Mans victory for Audi last year
