Rapid prototype

Article Abstract:

Le Mans attracts crowds from all over the world each year and producing a competitive car for the race is an engineering challenge. Audi entered four cars in the prototypes category in 1999, and the R8C was designed solely to run in the race. The R8C has a carbon fibre moulded chassis and bodywork, with steel wishbones suspension. Gearbox casing, oil tank and steering rack housing are all made from magnesium.
