The leaders of todays Racecars

Throughout the history of cars, one company has basically been the absolute pinnacle of racing, elegance, poise, and class. That company of course, is Ferrari. For almost a hundred years they have been the leaders in everything car. They were the first company to produce a car that could break the 200 mph barrier, the first to make cars that relied on both the driver and technology for the best performance. Basically, for the past 80 or so years, Ferrari has been leading the way in high tech, supercars, racecars, sports cars, you name it. Now however, there’s a new dog in town from Germany.

Audi, a German car company that’s been around for more than a hundred years, has finally gotten around to making good high end racecars. In the past Audi never really cared much for Formula one or Le Mans series racing, but since 2000, Audi has been dominating in the Le Mans series races, winning 3 times from 2000 to 2002. They also swept the American Le Mans series, winning every single one in 2000. And more recently the Audi team brought home a victory at the 2011 24 hours Le Mans, one of the most prestigious races in the world. So in short, if you’re a new Race enthusiast looking for a brand to root for, look no further, Audi is here to stay.  Pictured on the right is Audi"s newest creation, the R18, which also won the 24 hours Le Man.
