Andy_Bangle Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 With Porsche returning to Le Mans, Audi decided to welcome their German compatriots back to the famous race with an awesome new video. Dindo Capello drives the Audi R18 e-tron quattro from Audi HQ to the Porsche factory in Stuttgart before performing some cheeky donuts. I heard that patently was going to drive the Audi in the advert, but there wasn't enough run off 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think the Porsche Le Mans budget may have just had a zero added to the end of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I liked the Audi that was green and won in 2003. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Just picking up a vibe that you might have a dislike for an engineering lead, Motorsport friendly company. Shrugs shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm all for the bits that are engineering led and motorsport friendly. You have to admit they hide that well with their road cars though. I like the LMP1 Audis. You can't help but be impressed with the year on year improvements to an already world beating design, enough to shrug off just about all challenges for a decade. But Porsche and Le Mans mean something special to me. I learnt about LM24 in the days of Porsche dominance, of 240mph down the Mulsanne, and of formation finishes. The mystique of it all defined to me what motorsport means to the heart. So for Porsche to finally be competing again in the top class means a great deal. If they were to win in their first year would be incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Geek fact - it wa a Porsche tractor in the video too. Sorry, but I thought that was obvious - I even thought that was going to be punchline until the Audi continued its journey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) I think you might find the guy reading the paper was Weideking... or a lookalike. I thought it was a great clip, cheeky but obviously had sentiment. Edited June 7, 2014 by Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
