History

Chassis # 1 never raced in the USA. It stayed in Ingolstadt as a development vehicle and was driven by Stuck and Rohl in a development roll. All development and prototype work was done on this car before it was implemented into the three stateside cars. It then served as test mule for the 4 valve GTO engine.

In 1990 the car was sold by Audi Sport Germany to Audi Sport South Africa. It then ran in the South African Wesbank modified series driven by Chris Aberdien under the Bosal banner for the 1990 & 1991 seasons.

We purchased the car from Audi Sport South Africa in 1996.
