In May 2001 Audi brought an Auto
Union C-Type and a D-Type to the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies
meeting at Donington Park. They also brought several other cars and motorcycles
that day, including the one shown below.
It’s the Audi R8R of 1999, a
prototype which competed in the Le Mans 24 Hour race that year, the two cars
finishing in third and fourth places, though the two R8C closed cockpit cars in
the LMGTP class failed to finish the race. It’s pictured on the stretch between the Old Hairpin and McLean's
Corner during one of the demonstration runs.
