Audi A4 quattro Supertouring

The Audi A4 quattro Supertouring racing car is powered by a four cylinder "in-line" engine installed longitudinally. It features four valves per cylinder and produces around 305bhp giving it a top speed of over 150mph. Driven through a six-speed sequential gearbox, the Audi features a permanent four-wheel-drive system. No other manufacturer currently competes in the BTCC with four-wheel-drive, a layout which attracts a mandatory 95kg penalty over front-wheel-drive.

Weighing in at 1,070kg, ventilated disc brakes are employed on each wheel to slow the Audi with the driver adjustable brake bias from front to rear during the races as brake pads wear and the fuel load reduces affecting the Audi's handling characteristics. The Audi A4 quattro run exclusively on 19 inch Dunlop radial tyres int he BTCC and use Castrol lubricants. The cars were built at Audi Sport's headquarters in Ingolstadt, Germany and operated from from Audi Sport UK workshops in Buckingham.

Following each test session and race, the Audi's, which feature a steel cage welded to the body for driver protection and a dual circuit fire extinguisher system, return to Audi Sport UK's raceshop where they are stripped down and re-built in an almost clinical environment.
