Good to see it on track
Not so ear-splitting, for sure. I still find it pretty dull as engine sounds go.

Looks nice in blue, almost like the WTR/Andretti Acura in blue/black livery.

Seems like Famin and MSR are in talks for a '25 tie-up with the LMDh racer.

For some unknown reason I kind of thought it wouldn’t happen. That it was all talk. I don’t know why I felt like that. I am so pleased to see it progressing.

Actually, Audi's corporate trademark is the "four rings", symbolic of the auto companies that combined to form it. Horch, DKW, and Wanderer which would become Auto Union. By the late 60's, NSU would join. From the 1930's to today, the four rings have always been Audi's calling card, no matter what emerged from Ingolstadt.

Off topic comment alert
I have to type this or my brain will explode!



Obviously Audi's symbol is the four rings - but the latest A8/S8 has selectable light signatures at the rear that change the pattern of OLEDs.
It won't be long before cars come with configurable rear light patterns (some might even already exist) and Audi has led the way with innovative changes to rear light functionality in recent years.



Thanks for reading, you've been a wonderful audience. Don't forget to try the veal and tip your waitress. We now return you to the topic

Sound-wise not any worse than the engine that was briefly powering the G60 LMP1, even better Let's hope upgrades provide reliability at ~700 hp that the original engine couldn't.

Yep, it seems that the engine is fully made in Viry Chatillon which have a rather long established experience in this field. The subtitles poor joke was about the french language they use. Do you listen to radio communication sometimes? Some of our drivers do speak frenglish (as I do!). French people and foreign languages…

Can be heard during races indeed, either in comms or interviews

About drivers, who do you guys think will get the seat? Lapierre and Vaxiviere I think will stay with the team, not sure about Negrao. Who else, Milesi, Schumacher?

It kinda surprises me that the team is branded as Alpine and not Renault. Is the engine badged as a Renault?

They are really pushing the Alpine brand. I mean F1 and WEC both with Alpine. Would be more logical to do one of these with Renault.
