Zowie! Now why

Mr Biela is "An Audi Man"!  100% good for the company! 
After 6 years with
Audi he is their "most successful" driver, and keeps
company with the likes
of Sir Walter Whurl!  

Initially it was reported Mr. Biela did not like the 2wd
Audi's!  and Pierro 
was "quite at home" with the new machine.  Audi Sport has
been testing
the 2wd Audi A4 "secretly" in South Africa, and at certain
venues the Fwd
Audi has raced, unknowing to its onlookers, since it looks
"exactly" the 
same as the 4wd version!  Audi knows what potential, the
car has, and
will again "play the game" next year!  Frank, being a true
"driver"
of race cars, again will take on a challenge, where he can
excel!  With
a machine that must be "driven" to win! 

I look forward to the 97 season!  As with all the past Audi
seasons,
they are thrilling to watch, and pure excitement to see in
person!

Wonder what Bintcliff will be doing net year!
