Audi's Dominance At Le Mans (1999 - 2016)

[@maxb148]

The fact Audi could have gone from 2000 to 2014 undefeated for Le Mans if it hadn't been for 2 cars which is just unbelievable

[@tokyosmash]

One of which was essentially an Audi under the skin.

[@vonPelger]

can't really say they had competition. Like Toyota from 2017 until last year.

[@ederss7]

​@@vonPelger Out of 13 victories, 7 were against Peugeot, Toyota or Porsche. Other victories against Bentley, Cadillac, Panoz, Pescarolo, etc. Audi had much more competition than Toyota.

[@vonPelger]

@@ederss7 i counted 6 with true competition: 2005 when FIA gave them 100hp less then Pescarolo, 2008, 2010 and 2011 whith Peugeot. 2013 and 2014 with Toyota. I didn't count the years where Peugeot or Toyota where in their first year because they just tried to survive. But those 6 are quite rightly wins. Pround wins actually. Good fought and fair wins completely diserved

[@lukazilla]

I truly miss the 2011 R-18, it is by far my favorite car ever built. I remember seeing the R-18 for the first time, and all i wanted was to see it in person. Wonderful documentary, thank you very much.

Dr Wolfgang Ulrich wasn't the designer of any of the Audi cars, but was the head of Audi motorsport.

Great video. And the tribute was awesome. I was lucky enough to see the R8 (arguably the greatest sports car of all time) at the 2000 and 2001 Petit Le Man at Road Atlanta and they were incredible.

[@Solid5nake]

Love your videos. Small tip. In English, when you make a word possessive or plural by adding an “s” to the end (eg/ “Audi’s Le Mans legacy” (possessive) or “open top LMPs” (plural)), you do not need to pronounce two “s” sounds, just one. So, for example, “Audi’s” should be pronounced “Au-deez” NOT “Au-deez-iz”, and “LMPs” should be pronounced “L M Peez” NOT “L M Peez-iz”. I’ve noticed you do this throughout this video and in multiple other videos, so thought I would mention it.

[@funnyshorts6830]

Audi was for Le Mans what Mercedes is for f1. they both would be the greatests if they were there since the begining.

[@spar-100]

is that the racedriver: grid music you hear at the end of the Le Mans race at 1:21?

[@christheradar]

At the end of the video, you mean? Yes sir. It's the GRID 24-hour Le Mans theme.

[@victoruribe2465]

Audi was my favorite manufacturer in endurance racing.

[@johnsimms3693]

The R15 's were my favorite designs ... Super dope ...

[@racingislife608]

Awesome video and awesome content. I would like to know the where to get the or what are the links mods for the R15, R15+ and early R18 Audi’s that were used in Assetto Corsa. Also what was the music used during commentary. Brilliant video and awesome channel. Always looking forward towards your content.

[@christheradar]

Thank you!! Btw the Audi LMP mods shown on the video thumbnail, you can find them on either Assettoland & Assetto World. The easiest way to find it is simply to type in the search bar. For ex: Audi R15 Assetto Corsa Mod. The music you've heard is the video game soundtrack GRID 24 hours of Le Mans & Adrenaline Rush kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ_XeqaEirN5qLs kzbin.info?search_query=grid+2+adrenaline+rush+

The first R-18 debuted with a 3.7l hot valley turbo diesel. etron ( hybrid ) was'nt introduced until 2012.

[@Autobrain2063]

I guess AUDI has been underestimated slightly. Hopefully this sort of viedo will boost Audi image. Vividly I recollect the first moment I rode on R8 performante. Audi, I believe, is A reliable and prestigious brand.

[@paulreilly3904]

I know, it's a serious omission

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

When Audi decide to join a motorsport, everyone better prepare for serious competition, potentially dominance. Joined WRC in the 1980s - changed the entire automotive industry and introduced AWD to the masses. Continued that streak in DTM and IMSA. Then decided to join WEC, couple of years later **boom** - diesels are now insanely fast while still being economical. Then let's make things interesting, joining Formula E - most successful team ever. So don't be surprised if they join Formula 1 and hit the ground running. They rarely leave their homework unfinished and their joining usually spells industry-wide changes. I really wonder what would they bring to the F1 table.

audi are real pioneers in the automotive industry proving diesel engine ice can dominate races and developing winning hybrids early on and dominating races as well before porsche decided to copy their sister company success

[@bzdtemp]

A few points. - Bentley was just a green Audi, there were even Audi drivers in it. - Just like Audi and Bentley, Porsche is part of the VW group. I'm pretty sure Audi stopped their endurance program because they had won more than enough and competing against themself made no sense. - I was not just the Audi factory dominating, there was also a couple of drivers with of course Tom Kristensen being the prime example. PS. Calling you own video "awesome" is a little cringe.

Great vid! As a LeMans & Audi fan I appreciate the details you gave. However, one piece of advice…you mispronounced several words and you add an extra s to words that have apostrophes. For example you said “HDI’ses”. It’s pronounced“HDI’s” :) Fix those small grammatical mistakes and your content will be even better! Keep up the good work!
