    I truly miss the 2011 R-18, it is by far my favorite car ever built. I remember seeing the R-18 for the first time, and all i wanted was to see it in person. Wonderful documentary, thank you very much.

      Audi had much more competition than Toyota.

      @@ederss7 i counted 6 with true competition: 2005 when FIA gave them 100hp less then Pescarolo, 2008, 2010 and 2011 whith Peugeot. 2013 and 2014 with Toyota. I didn't count the years where Peugeot or Toyota where in their first year because they just tried to survive. But those 6 are quite rightly wins. Pround wins actually. Good fought and fair wins completely diserved

    Love your videos. Small tip. In English, when you make a word possessive or plural by adding an “s” to the end (eg/ “Audi’s Le Mans legacy” (possessive) or “open top LMPs” (plural)), you do not need to pronounce two “s” sounds, just one. So, for example, “Audi’s” should be pronounced “Au-deez” NOT “Au-deez-iz”, and “LMPs” should be pronounced “L M Peez” NOT “L M Peez-iz”. I’ve noticed you do this throughout this video and in multiple other videos, so thought I would mention it.

  • @QuantumS1ngularity

    When Audi decide to join a motorsport, everyone better prepare for serious competition, potentially dominance. Joined WRC in the 1980s - changed the entire automotive industry and introduced AWD to the masses. Continued that streak in DTM and IMSA. Then decided to join WEC, couple of years later **boom** - diesels are now insanely fast while still being economical. Then let's make things interesting, joining Formula E - most successful team ever. So don't be surprised if they join Formula 1 and hit the ground running. They rarely leave their homework unfinished and their joining usually spells industry-wide changes. I really wonder what would they bring to the F1 table.

    A few points.
    - Bentley was just a green Audi, there were even Audi drivers in it.
    - Just like Audi and Bentley, Porsche is part of the VW group. I'm pretty sure Audi stopped their endurance program because they had won more than enough and competing against themself made no sense.
    - I was not just the Audi factory dominating, there was also a couple of drivers with of course Tom Kristensen being the prime example.
    PS. Calling you own video "awesome" is a little cringe.

    Great vid! As a LeMans & Audi fan I appreciate the details you gave. However, one piece of advice…you mispronounced several words and you add an extra s to words that have apostrophes. For example you said “HDI’ses”. It’s pronounced“HDI’s” :)
