If you watched Sunday's show, you'll know that Audi likes putting its cars in the way of things. Which is annoying, unless said thing happens to be Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France. And it's for approximately 24 hours.

Which is why we're quite pleased about its entry into this year's Le Mans 24 hour race - not only is it a weird hybrid Diesel effort, but it's got quattro four-wheel drive.

So, it turns out, does lots of other very exciting Audi-badged machinery. A point the Germans have driven home with this awesome and actually quite stirring video.
