Re: LeMans Contest Entries - 99 Mercedes CLR vs. 99 Audi R8C
Stunning choices Mick, I wasn't even aware the Audi R8C was available as a kit.
A small correction to your history: The R8C (coupe) and R8R (roadster) both ran concurrently at Le Mans in 1999. A finger in both pies by Audi to cover the GT1 closed cockpit category with the R8C. As well as exploiting the options of LMP with the open cockpit R8R. The R8R roadsters proved to be the more successful, finishing 3rd and 4th. So Audi chose to develop the open cars into the R8 of 2000 and subsequent events.
