New Champion Livery |

Champion Racing has announced a new livery for their R8 for the ‘Audi Presents Petit Le Mans’ at Road Atlanta.
Their announcement explains that "the Champion Motors family has been deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events of 11 September, but also inspired by those who have so heroically served their country during this difficult time. As an American team, our Audi R8 always proudly carries the U.S. flag in American Le Mans Series competition. But we wanted to go beyond that, to honor our country in a special way."
So Champion Racing owner Dave Maraj commissioned artist Dave Schnorr "to transform our normally rainbow-colored Audi prototype into a symbol of the strong patriotism we all share."
Schnorr, who has been responsible for decorating Champion Racing’s cars for nearly ten years, applied Champion's trademark reflective color designs in red and blue on the Audi R8’s white bodywork. To complete the stylized American colors theme, reflective white stars are scattered throughout the new design.
