Avatar photoSports Car Digest

Audi Tradition will take part in more than 20 events in 2016 on the world’s roads and at classic car events around the globe, while also celebrating a few anniversaries along the way.

One of the highlights: It was exactly 80 years ago that the Auto Union Type C racing car with Bernd Rosemeyer behind the wheel won the European Grand Prix championship. After a two-year hiatus, fans will have another chance to hear and see this unique 16-cylinder racing car live. The Type C will be running in events in Germany and England.
