He didn’t do so badly in 2000 though – he also won at Le Mans of course, and led strongly at Road Atlanta. “The atmosphere in American racing is great, and joining Audi Sport Team Joest is the best thing that could happen.”<BR> <BR> “We still haven't investigated the full potential of the R8,” confirms Kristensen, supporting the suggestion that Audi could have introduced improvements during the past season. They weren’t needed, but might be against the Panoz LMP07.<BR> <BR> Although his Audi team-mates have been announced, exact line-ups for each car haven’t been decided. “No matter who my partner will be, we will be competitive.”<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
