Driving Audi's 1000bhp R18 LMP1 race car

[@austin5806]

Thank you for driving better than 99.99% of journalists. Almost every journalist drive makes me angry, but you did the car good justice. Top quality work. Subbed.

[@austin5806]

PS: The issue with the Ferrari FF was totally Ferrari's fault for wanting to go low profile to appease the target audience. A great car can take a kerbing.

[@whoaccountisdisanyway2985]

Yes, like a pro!

[@karasakizbaris]

the engineers of one of the lmp teams said, they build these cars to be easy to drive, Fast is important but dont forget that at 24 hours of le mans, the drivers will drive this up to 10 hours, so comfort is important at endurance cars.

[@gijs.22]

Barış Karasakız endurance cars will also sometimes have a slower more comfortable setup

[@Kai_ST200]

Times of comfortable cars in endurance racing are over. Those cars are build to be as fast as possible in combination with low fuel and low tire consumption. When i think back ten years, yes - cars where build and the setup was made to put the lowest possible stresslevel into the driver. Today the competition is so hard - just finishing does not guarantee you a good place. You have to be fast also.

[@Harmonic14]

@@Kai_ST200 You don't watch WEC based on your comment lol

[@Kai_ST200]

@@Harmonic14 tell me what is wrong. I am watching every WEC Race, many of them at the racetrack, because i know many mechanics, engineers and drivers. I am driving for myself in TCR class in VLN (ich denke die kennst du 😉) and some Creventic events. If you think there was no competition, because only Toyota is in LMPH, i can tell you, there are some other classes like that privateers in LMP1 and also LMP2 and GT classes :)

[@Masztufa]

@@Kai_ST200 what he means is the cars are stable, won't spin and go into a low-earth orbit on every mistake, and also they value consitency over fastest lap time I'm pretty sure there was an experiment (in simulator, with actual racing drivers) witch showed that drivers maintaining a "fast, but consistent" pace was the best on average. Because if you really are driving constantly at "100%" you'll make mistakes that cost you more time.

[@mustsilm]

Such a fantastic machine. Its a shame they left. The problem is that both Audi and Porsche are under the VW group. Also it seems like there was cost cutting going on cause VW themselves left rally.

[@D3JXY]

Wonder why that may be...

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

I'm sure, that cost cutting is the biggest reason why. Also, Porsche is more titled and more legendary team of Le Mans, so it's why Audi had to leave, not Porsche. Unfortunately :(

[@reistje]

I don't think it was planned from the beginning. But then dieselgate started happening which instantly raised questions about money which raised questions about motorsport budget. The fact that Audi used their LMP1 program to promote their TDI (diesel) engines and technology probably didn't help either.

[@sh0ckv3l33]

It might be much easier then that. Let's say political even. Reminds me a bit of Mesarati Ferrari in mid 2000 with the MC12. The group might need to push the Porsche brand now redirecting founding toward that brand. Or it could be a temporary break from Audi untill some new gamebreaking ideas will come up. History told us that when Audi comes back, it will be with a platform 10 years ahead of competition (Quattro rally, IMSA GT, diesel powered R-1x and who knows what's next).

[@jody024]

Diesel Gate started it, with VAG having to pay tens of Billions they HAD to make cuts, and with Porsche owning over 50% of VAG and the FIA diesel regulations in WEC it was right thing to do to take audio out of WEC. Promoting diesel was just not the right thing to do at the time. Too many people think Audi traded WEC for Formula E but that is simply not the case.

It'd be prohibitively expensive to run. The budget for these kinds of cars is far above what a privateer team running at Le Mans usually spends.

[@TodunOlusola]

SimonC979 Aston Martin needs an LMP1 car lol

[@patrickpelletier6315]

MS if Audi is willing to sell them, and i reckon they will if they havent already. then yea a group could literally race their car. budget wise. not a good idea, i mean yea there's potential to make money in racing but manufacturers are those who benefit the most out of motorsports. privateers just run them for fun. i cant wait to see the car though. im sure we'll see what it looked like eventually

[@Paganizondaf650]

Must be some billionaire. Most sources say Audi had a budget of ca. 100-130 million Euros per season, Porsche being somewhere in that region as well. Some even say Audi had a budget of up to 240 million Euros per season. Toyota is much lower with estimated 40-70 million which can easily be seen by the lower number of cars competing.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

In Dubio Pro Porsche yea the money put into racing is crazy. In F1 for example, the 2014 season (the first when the 1.6L V6 Turbo Hybrid powertrains came in) Red Bull (not Toro Rosso) alone for their 2 main cars were spending 400 million for 1 year. Understandably they wanted to defend their 4 year streak but i think Mercedes-Benz was spending around 200 million. And even smaller teams like Williams and Force India were much faster than Red Bull that season

[@HaloToday]

Jethro you have a job that every car person would love to have but a very few in the world that can actually do it. I'm man enough to say that I would love your job but there so no way i am anywhere near capable of driving such a machine. Love your honest insights and keep up the great work!

The Real Kurti they had a good car in 2014 but not good enough. Then 2015 they were strong. 2016 they almost lost it but i think it's fair to say it's mostly luck that came to their rescue and 2017 they didnt have the superior car but Toyota faced issues that Porsche didnt and Porsche were able to capitalize on it. Regardless the wins were earned and they deserved it just as much as any other team would have

[@driver8703]

It kills me this car is sitting on the sidelines now, it was amazing to see it at COTA and I hope I get to see it when I go to Germany. Really stupid decision of VAG to park a car that can run for 24 hours for a car that can't run 30 mins before you have to swap cars to complete the hour long race.

[@Petidani0330]

Formula-E and electric cars in general have a great potential in them. They need improvements, yes, LOTS OF developments and corrections, but the time will come when electric cars will easily match the performance, durability and efficiency of the petrol and diesel cars. Having Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Nissan (basically Renault) in FE, and furthermore all of the above plus Tesla, Porsche and Volkswagen on the public roads, the improvements will most probably come way faster.

Audi should've stopped their irrelevant DTM-program instead of leaving LMP1 where history can be made.

[@911gpd]

DTM is amazing !

[@Petidani0330]

What's your problem with DTM? It's by far the most important racing car championship of the Germans, so it's only natural for the major German constructors to compete in it. Audi has been in there for many decades now, even in the old era of DTM in the 1980s and '90s, so it's a part of the DTM history, as well as the all-time superior Mercedes. Well, yes, Mercedes has just left, but it doesn't change my point.

[@AntoniusTyas]

This did not age well in 2020...

[@armorgeddon]

Hehe, absolutely. DTM was relevant in the 80s & 90s when the competition was huge and amazing and it was also ok in the era of 2000 to 2002, but after that it went downhill steeper and steeper and never recovered. In the last years it was a totally irrelevant shadow of it former self pretending technical competition but using BOP whenever it seemed fit NASCAR-like. What a joke. There's no way back for Audi though since LMP1-H will end and it's replacement will be a fully BOPed class as worthless as DTM. Real motorsports in terms of 4-wheel racing as a whole is close to dead and as bad as F1 nowadays is compared to the early 90s I must sadly say that it'll become the last unicorn once LMP1-H is done.
