Flights of Fantasy: If Audi Entered F1 They Look Like This?

nice paint job

So many Audi jokes so little time. :)

Looks great, but unlikely to happen, maybe after the new rules go in effect.

F1 is boring ... the starting grid is the ending grid.
Kids in go-karts are more interesting!

I am a kid in a go kart, to me, on great go karts like Rotax RM1 etc. is an alternative to F1 if you wanted to be a F1 Driver and you can't. And I race a F1 Boston.

And then they would win. Like they always do.

This might be a start of a AWD F1 car.

Bring it on!

audi would get its ass kicked, just like in auto luxury sales

Formula 1: 500 million a year

Making stupid claims as if you pulled them out of youknowhere: priceless.

Audi always does well in racing

Excellent renderings... they do look spot on (obviously the tyres are wrong, currently F1 uses bridgestones).

Diesel will be a long way off in F1, and forget about AWD.

Audi in F1, they'd be in the top 5 pretty quickly, most manufacturer teams are at the top, independent teams are at the bottom. The assumption that they would win is just wrong... F1 is not as predictable as some think,... a Renault beating a Ferrari, a Mercedes a Bimmer, a Honda and a Toyota? When you think of car brands you would not expect the line up to be like that!.

I'd hope if VAG got into F1 they'd use the lamborghini name instead of the Audi brand... it'd just sound cooler!

Bimmer -why does BMW leave every race that Audi enters? Where is BMW's racing victories?

Amazingbimmer-i can honestly say you are the only one on this site that i truely hate, you are an absolute moron.

i love how you love BMW and you pretend like you have one

Wow,

no Toyota comments? Where are you guys?

AUDI would never enter F1 - too much competition. They'd rather race against themselves in the ALMS.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzZZZzzZZzzzzz

don't forget audi's success a few decades ago in rallying, they were unbeatable, and hence moved on and tried something different, which again they are at the top of their game with (Le Mans). as the article suggests, it will be very interesting to watch audi enter F1; that's if it ever does.

UNBIASED OBSERVATION

This is such a joke... this article is about some very well done renderings of a race car that will never exist (it's 2006 spec, even if Audi entered F1, the car would not look like this)..... 99% of people on this site don't know about motorsport, they just know about the propoganda that their beloved brand tells them. And then when they get confronted with irrefutable facts they start trying to argue about what the most important racing series is, and that usually happens to be the one that their chosen brand is doing well in.

THE NOT SO UN-BIASED BIT

"Audi choose to race in series' that can directley benefit road cars, and they don't race in F1 because they don't like the technical limitations?" THEN WHY DO THEY RACE IN DTM!!!! Check out DTM's regs, they are about as tight as F1, and DTM uses more parts that have to be the same on every single race car....

Yes regs have been changed in the past to outlaw technologies that Audi has used to win (quattro in DTM for instance - regs have changed at Lemans regarding diesels too) - Tough it happens!!! BMW have win ETCC and WTCC recently having to carry more ballast just because they are RWD!!! (although I think they've dropped that rule now)....... Regs get changed to keep motorsport interesting, if Audi choose not to persue a sport that is there choice.

BMW didn't leave Lemans because of Audi, they turned up in 98, had a strong car but made a basic mistake and had to retire both cars. They won in 99... The project was part of the F1 deal with WilliamsF1 (who helped them build the cars) after 99 they had no intention of factory backed LM cars, BMW and Williams went to concentrate on F1, where they did better than average despite never winning the constructors championship.
