Video: The new Audi's first outing on the track
With a camera in every phone, it's hard to keep anything secret, even at a closed test track under conditions of secrecy.
The first images of Audi's new car from today's shakedown as part of a filming day in Barcelona have appeared on social media. The footage shows the car taking several corners, but because of the distance and the technical camouflage no details can be made out.
Congratulations to Audi on their debut! These are the first laps of a car with an Audi engine in the history of Formula 1.
