THE FUTURE OF MOTORSPORT ACCORDING TO AUDI

Posted 9th June, 2011 in Miscellaneous | Leave a comment

Just ahead of this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi has released a fascinating look at the people responsible for creating the machinery involved, and asks them how they envisage the future of motorsport will evolve. Head of Audi Sport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, Head of Design Wolfgang Egger, and Michael Splett of the Strategic Corporate Planning department all contribute. A lot of talk is based around current fuels used by teams and cars, and how cars powered by diesel, premium and E85 gasoline can compete on a level playing field – and that’s before the likes of hydrogen or gas are introduced. The pros and cons of electric drive vehicles are also raised. We’re liking the sketch too.
