In winning the Le Mans 24 Hour race three times consecutively, AUDI AG has once more shown that the corporate slogan “Vorsprung durch Technik“ has to be taken literally. Rarely before has a manufacturer been as successful as Audi in what is regarded as the world’s toughest motor race. In particular, the Audi sports racing car’s strength was its 100% reliability: since its début back in 1999, all the cars entered by Audi Sport Team Joest crossed the finishing line at Le Mans. Three times in succession, Audi left the entire opposition trailing behind – a unique result.
