It is fairly difficult to describe Le Mans to someone who hasn’t been fortunate enough to be there in person. It is such an emotional event that encapsulates all that is good about motorsport enthusiasm. It is a test of man’s mental and physical abilities as well as pushing machinery and technology to their very limits. We certainly are excited for this year’s running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and watching this video give us goosebumps. We hope that you find it equally exciting! This is going to be an amazing year, and if you have ever thought about trying to make the journey I would encourage you to do everything you can to make it this year!
In an announcement this morning at the ACO Press Conference, the details regarding the entries for the 80th running of the 24 hours of Le mans were released. Despite the lack of any competition from Peugeot, who pulled out of the race last month, Audi should have a good amount of competition as there are a total of 15 cars listed in LMP1.
The crew from Audi Sport will be bringing a total of 4 cars to the race 2 hybrids led by Allan McNish and Andre Lotterer. Timo Bernhard and new driver Oliver Jarvis will lead the TDI powered R18s.

We just posted a teaser of the upcoming Audi superbowl commercial merely an hour ago, and we just happened upon the actual full commercial! We can’t say with 100% certainty that Audi doesn’t have something else coming on gameday however, sometimes they will try and surprise us last minute.
Without further ado here is Audi’s 2012 Superbowl commercial! Please let us know what you think!
It is that time of the year again, and the net is abuzz with speculation over the upcoming Superbowl commercials. This being their 5th year participating in the extravaganza, Audi is giving us many hints as to the contents of their latest Superbowl advertisement. A few days ago via Facebook, they posted this teaser “In just under two weeks at the biggest sporting event of the year, our LEDs will lay waste to a trend that has long needed killing off. Any guesses what?” And now, we have a video to go along with it. It is safe to assume that Audi will be campaigning their new 100% LED headlights as a tool to kill off the uber annoying vampire trend!
