Audi Tradition celebrated the centennial at the historic Donau Ring in Ingolstadt’s old city. Nearly every race car in the history of the brand hit the road for demo runs. In addition to DTM (German Touring Car Championship) and STW (Super Touring Car) racers, the victorious Le Mans sports cars – the Audi R8 and the R10 TDI – also put in some laps.

The Audi R15 TDI racing prototype – the latest development from Audi Sport – made its public road debut on the Donau Ring in Ingolstadt.

Outstanding drivers from Audi’s history participated, with the attendance of two-time world rally champion Walter Röhrl, DTM champion Hans-Joachim Stuck and European rally champion Harald Demuth among the names.
Just one week later, on July 25, Audi Tradition will also hold an historic car event in Zwickau, the birthplace of the brand. Four historic race cars will put in some laps around the Platz der Völkerfreundschaft. “I am pleased that AUDI AG will once again honour its place of birth in Audi’s centennial year,” says Dr. Pia Findeiß, Mayor of the City of Zwickau.
