If that's the car that came in third, then yep. Another 1-2-3 for Audi.

Default Yes..but

they made some significant changes to it to allow for the rules difference between the classes. One of which was different turbos and electronics.

Default and it had a BMW tranny......

3rd year and Audi's LMP tranny is still unreliable...but that's fine, they make up for it in speed and engine reliability.
