This is one of several vehicles, including two Auto Union Grand Prix cars, that Audi took to the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.
It's a 1926 NSU 6/60 that was a successful competitor in the 1½ litre class of racing in the 1920s. It has a 6-cylinder inline 1,482cc supercharged engine, and its best result was when it took the first four places in the up to 1½ litre class at the 1926 German Grand Prix at the Avus circuit. Georg Klöbe finished in fifth place overall with Jakob Scholl in seventh place, Franz Islinger eighth, and Josef Müller in tenth place. This is the only one of those cars that has survived, and this photograph was taken on the stretch between the Old Hairpin and McLean's Corner.
On 6 February 2017 I showed two more photographs of the car that I took that day.
