George Achorn of fourtidude/vwvortex has good connections with Audi NA and Audi Sport.

BTW more pictures will probably show up, because George wrote on facebook:

I found some more (low quality) pictures of the R18: http://yfrog.com/user/Audi/photos

As you can see on http://a.yfrog.com/img614/6323/65622688.jpg Audi is indeed using a reflective paint/sticker on the roof (to cool down the cockpit). The drivers will have very limited view through the side windows.

MihokS5 has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I also noticed that the front end is different between the fenders and nose. They've done away with the small wing parts and now have just smooth panels

Yeah, George stayed after the race from what he was saying. Believe DSC was there as well possibly(?) and others to watch the test.

I'll be interested to see what he has to say or can say about the test. I'm curious to lap times IF..IF he was able to quietly do that. Probably doubtful on that one.

Sorry..LONG-time lurker.

BTW the website is fourtitude.com. It's everything Audi and George knows a LOT about everything Audi. VWvortex is everything VW. I'll see once he gets back from Sebring if he can post any info up when he comes up for air.

Can't believe how quiet the cars are in that video.

Sounds like a mix of the R10's V12 and a really muffled Porsche boxer 6.

Of course, that leads to one detail that we don't know, but at least the V6 is about half the R10's V12 as far as mass and length. Of course, cylinder angle and turbocharger/induction configuration isn't known.

Anyone know or is able to guess why the fin/wing mount has been raised? ACO request or advice, or something that Audi have found, or a bit of both?

After reading article 3.6.4 of the 2011 rules, I think that the previous solution was legal.

It also appears in the front end photo that the front diffuser is either entirely carbon or is at least entirely skinned in carbon.

The changes to the panels between the nose box and the front fenders seems to be maybe an LM/low drag oriented feature.

On the pictures of the previous Sebring test, it was also black.

Looking at http://www.mulsannescorner.com/newsmarch11.html the angle of the panel seems steeper. So I would say the opposite: more downforce.

I was reading an article somewhere in the past 2 or 3 days that said Audi is planning to run in ALMS in 2012, but I can't find that article anywhere now. Has anybody else seen this, or am I remembering something incorrectly?

yah, but I thought I read this literally in the past 2 days specifically about 2012. However, this could be one of those crazy things that I dreamt after watching 12 hours of racing on Saturday! That is why I was asking if anybody else saw it.

That would be it, thanks gwyllion! The quote was "hopes" to race in the ALMS, so I guess I shouldn't get too excited. They "hoped" for this season as well.

Audi Sport boss Wolfgang Ullirch on Wind Tunnel said that he hopes that Audi can run in the ALMS possibly next year, and that they've been trying to find an American driver for their programs the past few years in case Audi tries to get back in the ALMS full time. So Herr Ullrich still has plenty of connections in North America.

But that's a case for the future. Anyone know if Audi of America/Audi Sport have released their photos yet, or if Fourtitude has released their photos or more videos?

Still has plenty of connections in North America? Of course he does.

Audi tried to get back this year, Audi NA has no interest in spending the dollars. Ullrich can say all he wants, but until Audi NA feels there is value, the probability is very low.

Crikey, that thing looks ridiculous from the side. All these new LMPs do.

ACO finding yet more ways to prevent people getting into sportscars.

Some Audi twitter thing mentioned in this tread said that Audi of America would release photos from the test this morning. I've checked their Flickr page, and have come up empty thus far.

I wonder if George will even do a write up about the R18?

I only doubted that George would have a write up because of how secretive Audi has been until very recently, and they're still regarding the R18 with quite a bit of secrecy.

I'm only waiting for AoA to release their photos, since they and Audi Sport has photo personel at Sebring as well.
