Audi will compete at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race on 17th and 18th June, 2006, with a brace of high-calibre driving squads. Six seasoned campaigners, who have all won the French endurance classic at least once, and collectively lay claim to 17 Le Mans victories, sit at the wheel of the two Audi R10 sportscars.

Frank Biela, Emanuele Pirro and Marco Werner form one team. Dindo Capello, Le Mans-record winner, Tom Kristensen, and Allan McNish share the cockpit of the second Audi R10.

"Our goal was to put together two equally competitive teams for each R10. We were able to choose from six Le Mans winners who have been successful for Audi in every conceivable permutation. We opted for a combination which we consider to be perfect for both cars," said Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich.
