It took a week to get back to full fitness, full strength, full feeling after Le Mans. The emotional fatigue, the pressure, everything else about that race week is quite intense. Like I said in the previous Newsletter, we then went to the Audi plants in Ingolstadt and Neckersulm to celebrate the magnificent 1-2-3 at Le Mans with the workforce.

Well, Le Mans is over, it's all settled down again now. We had quite a lot of discussions, celebrations, the in depth detail to look over but whichever way you cut it, you have to say that was a pretty intense event and also a surprise result in the fact that we had a complete clean sweep on the podium.

Heading for Spa, it seemed a long time since our previous race at Paul Ricard but in reality it was only four weeks but we'd busy in that time. We'd undertaken a 30 hour endurance test back at Ricard. It was dry and was completed without any dramas which gives us some comfort looking ahead to next month's BIG race. We've had strong endurance tests concerning reliability which is exactly the situation we would hope to be in.

Well the first race is over and I don't think anyone at Audi Sport could have hoped for a better result at Paul Ricard. Giving the R15 Plus its first victory follows in the same vane as with the R8, R10 TDI and R15 TDI - Audi's fine tradition of scoring a début race win first time out with its latest sportscar.

Hi everybody, it's been a month or so since I last spoke to you, and I'm now at Paul Ricard in preparation for my first race of the year and boy, oh boy, that's a great feeling. The opening round of this year's Le Mans Series is an eight hour race on Sunday which will give everyone at Audi Sport valuable information and data concerning our new R15 TDI "Plus". We've obviously been busy testing it in recent weeks but this will be our 2010 car's first real blast and will allow us see what it can do in a race environment.
