Forza Horizon moment

[@reneengelke3218]

There is quite a lot more to it. About the high weight of the V8: Group A rules heavily favoured large displacement cars (including turbos due to the 1,4x displacement factor). The DTM tried to mitigate this by limiting tyre width and imposing a minimum weight. In 1992 the BMWs and Mercedes had to run 40kg above regulation weight whereas the Audi V8 had to run 120kg above regulation weight. Due to this there wasnt any reason for Audi to decrease the weight of the V8. About the crankshaft: The Group A rules state that the original crankshaft must be used but that it can be modified. Audi played the rules and reheated original crankshafts to then twist the rod journals into a flatplane configuration. The OMS (governing body of the DTM) checked the engine after the Zolder race and deemed it legal. After the Wunstorf race BMW complained to the OMS which once again deemed the engine legal. BMW appealed this descision and suprisingly the OMS court ruled in favor of BMW deeming the crankshaft as illegal. Just a week later at the AVUS race a report by the TÜV and OMS was published which one again deemed the crankshaft as legal. At the next race weekend at Hockenheim BMW once again protested the crankshaft and once again this protest was denied due to the report and the previous decisions. Similar to the Wunstorf race, BMW appealed this decision and suddenly the crankshaft was ruled illegal again. Audi was sick of this inconsistency and left.

[@Paul_VanGo]

Thue that. Audi didn't cheat, they actually played the rules by the letter. And by the time the others could make the cars by the ever changing rules they themselves virtually dictated (the rule maker was literally working for Mercedes), Audi stuck to the Group A annex J rules and kept on winning. In the end they bullied Audi out of the championship. The organisation did the same when Alfa Romeo a few years later won everything too, also by playing by the ever changing Class 1 rules. Just like ousting the pulverizing Sierra earlier, the rules were changed to what especially Mercedes had in the pipeline, but they didn't expect the competition to be more creative. Until virtually everybody else left the series, ending with only Mercedes and Opel and in combination with ludicrous ticket prices, that became the end of the only real DTM championship. What came after was a farce.

[@Preen59]

Well said. They made staged forging tooling to "adjust" the crank plane. Bloody sensational interpretation.

[@andrewrollason4963]

" Group A rules heavily favoured large displacement cars" They did not. Mercedes abandoned the 560SEC as a viable Group A car because the rules did not allow them to put wide enough tyres on the car. The advantage that cars like the Jaguar XJS and Holden Commodore initially had, was eaten up when turbo cars of less than 2.7L could put better tyres on for the weight.

That's not the whole truth. The "new" crankshaft used in 1992 was based on the series crankshaft. It was only bent the other way around during production. This was even accepted by the racing commissioners of the DTM and declared compliant with the rules. When the competition complained during the season, this was declared illegal and Audi got out of the DTM. This story comes from an interview with Ulrich Baretzky. He was head of racing engine development at Audi from the end of 1980 until Le Man's exit from Audi in 2016.

I still can’t believe how those cars managed to handle that well with so much weight hanging ahead of the front axle. Also, the packaging of the cooling system looks cramped. Knowing who was at the head of Audi at the time, I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into making these cars competitive.

[@bapr3887]

Because this weight was hanging ahead of the front axle. Seriously. This is perfect balance for full time awd car and this layout was making front axle grippy and rear lightweight loose. In every sucessfull full time awd car, you have not only engine but whole system ahead of the front axle, additionaly audis had their gearbox behind front axle. Thats why ultra big V8 in Audis had anyway 60/40 weight distibution, when small and light inline 3 in newest yaris GR making 62/38 weight distribution.

[@BastianKH]

​@@bapr3887It's not true. The RS200 proves you wrong f.e. And the others had the engines so far in front because of packaging problems, not because they wanted it like this. It's always the best for road racing to have the weight as low and close to the center as possible for a quick and easy direction change. Simple physics. And the weight distribution isn't everything, if you have the weights so far in front and the back. For straight line performance It's not so important, but for cornering.

When those guys came up against the Europeans they lost hard, Team Lark's McLaren F1 GTR completely shut all of them out when the entered with Ralf Schumacher, nearly driving a complete shutout of the season not winning in only 1 race.

Except Audi was winning before they put in the flat-plane crankshaft. I think it’s more impressive that Audi made a full-size, executive car a successful touring car. The illegal crankshaft was just them pushing the rules to try and keep the car competitive for a third season when the weight became a problem.

BMW would never what? Win the transam championship in the first year of entering? Dominate the first 2 years of Group B? Win lemans 13 times in 17 years? Win the Dakar rally? Be the first manufacturer to win DTM championships back to back? Be the only manufacturer that won the big 3 European endurance races (Lemans 24h, Spa 24h and Nurburgring 24h) in the same year not once but twice? Win nurburgring 24h 7 times in 13 years? Yeah BMW would never achieve that, but Audi did 😘

@@BrownSofaGamer yea with twice the cylinders and drive wheels. That's all I was pointing out. That the bmw was still holding its own against a far superior vehicle.

[@shifty1927]

@@Jules-oc3pv and even with those accomplishments the e30 m3 has still won more. Bmw did it with the same chassis across all forms of racing. Its known as the most successful road race car in history for a reason. And im not here to hate on audi. I actually like them alot. Their lemans program from 2000 to 2005 with the r8 was untouchable. A pure masterclass in endurance dominance.

@@Jules-oc3pv also bmw has won dakar six times. 3 of those wins were in a row.83,84,85... Says Audi just got their first win there in 2024.

Would have been interesting seeing Audi and Nissan go at each other in Gr.A.

In 1988 Audi went to North America to teach them how to pronounce Audi. In 1989 Audi were forced out of North America

now that i think of it, has audi ever made a light roadcar in its class?

[@wortexinternational2598]

had a beautiful 1990 V8. Loved that car. Until a scambag guy decided to steal it. My life changed after so I never got a chance to get the same car but got close a few times. The one I really wanted was a 1993 V8 4.2l Manual !!!

[@Midtable1881]

Mad take here but what if the DTM raced with souped up stripped out S-Classes, 7 Series and A8s?

[@bapr3887]

A8 would dominate it absolutely.

[@giobarbarinimusic]

Group A was completely dominated by the Delta

[@automobilistic]

In rally, yes

Until Toyota took over

[@krisztianpap4421]

where are the model cars from?

[@AnalogDude_]

These BMW's & Mercedes Benz's where the legendary BMW e30 M3 with 2.3 liter engine and Mercedes Benz 190 2.3 16V. The Mercedes Benz 190 had/has multi link suspension on the rear axle, witch was pretty much unmatched/unheard vs the rest of the world in a standard car. back than. these cars will not brake out in the back if you want them too, you would simply drift around the corner in a controlled fashion and resume your drive. very cool.

[@DAGATHire]

audi may have won some stuff. But the 190E and E32 to this day are ICONS! the foundation on which the legend of DTM is built on those two cars. And audi had sweet F all to do with it. Sure enough Audi built a rally legend but no one gives a damn about their boring circuit racing days. Merc and BMW are far more desirable From this era.

[@bapr3887]

Who cares, what boring mainstream thinks? Be individual who scorn mainstream npcs. Audi's racing circuit is real legend and deal, one of a king revolutionary cars, that everytime dominate everything up to ban.

[@DAGATHire]

@@bapr3887 Audi circuit racing NOW is legend mate But in the time of this vid... It was Merc and BMW. Audi came later. a Aid about that would be awesome and really interesting. Cos their rivalry with porsche has been epic Making a vid about Audi racing back in this era is frankly pointless
