1999 Audi R8R

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.
