Auto Union Type C
Eighty years ago, Bernd Rosemeyer drove the Auto Union Type C to victory in the European Championship. The one of a kind 16-cylinder racing car is marking this anniversary by running at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Classic Days at Schloss Dyck.

Packed Schedule for Audi Tradition in 2016

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.
