" Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, sees the debut of Audi&amp;#039;s latest LMP1 sports car which turns the company&amp;#039;s ultra-lightweight technology into a visual experience and which is powered by a new ultra-compact V-6 TDI engine. The circuit in the Ardennes region is particularly demanding and therefore well suited as the dress rehearsal for the season&amp;#039;s pinnacle at Le Mans on June 11-12. Audi Sport Team Joest learned a lot at Spa-Francorchamps last year as a month later, Audi celebrated a one-two-three result with the R15 TDI and broke the 39-year distance record. At Spa-Francorchamps speed and reliability will not be the only crucial factors as a massive 60-car entry comprising of sports prototypes and GT vehicles have entered the race. Consequently, the 4.3-mile track will be extremely packed. Practice starts on Thursday with qualifying scheduled for Friday afternoon. The 1000-kilometre race will start at 14:05 on Saturday and last a maximum of six hours.
