If there is one manufacturer that has dominated the endurance racing landscape over the first two decades of the 21st Century, then it is certainly Audi. The German automaker burst onto the endurance racing scene in 1999 with its R8R, in open Spyder format, and the R8C, a Coupé. The pair of R8Rs claimed third and fourth places in their debut race, while the two R8Cs posted DNFs in the same race.
