Audi Racer has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Neither team showed their hand in terms of fuel mileage.
1. ask yourself what mileage they got last year. (11-13 laps)

2.now what happened with the regs ( they have smaller engines and less horsepower)

3. theyll probably get 14-16 lap mileage this year
