AUDI

Audi is one of the most successful car brands in motorsport. As early as the 1930s, the Grand Prix racing cars of the Auto Union successfully took part in various motorsport events. 

In 1981, Audi was the first manufacturer to successfully use four-wheel drive in rallying. In addition, the Audi quattro had a turbo engine, which was also a novelty in this sport. Audi dominated the rally scene until 1984. 

Vehicles with all-wheel drive were also successful in international touring car racing from 1988. However, since the ban on all-wheel drive in touring car series in 1998, Audi has had to switch to front or rear-wheel drive. The A4 DTM and its successor, the A5 DTM, are now driven with rear-wheel drive.
