The Competence Center Motorsport has previously housed other Audi projects, such as the Audi RS Q e-tron, the Audi R18 e-tron quattro hybrid racing car, and its Formula E car. “With the Competence Center Motorsport, we have an ideal base for our Formula 1 project,” said Oliver Hoffmann, Board Member for Technical Development.
“Audi Neuburg was designed from the outset to be able to tackle the most demanding motorsport projects. This foresight is paying off. With the existing facilities, we were able to immediately begin with the Formula 1 project. The expansion will create the necessary infrastructure for the development of our F1 power unit for the long term.
