Audi Sport Team Joest

Team Joest and RaceMet Radar Systems will be working together again at the 24h du Mans 2006. Team Joest, the Audi Sport works team running the new Audi R10, will enter two cars in the LMP1 class. This is Audi’s first attempt to win the 24-hour race using a diesel car. Since the year 2000, RaceMet Radar Systems, founded in England in 1996, has delivered meticulous weather forecast for Audi Sport Team Joest at the French long distance classic race. Once again Team Joest and the Audi R10 drivers will have all the latest up-to-date information – in particular imminent rain, track conditions, temperatures, winds, components, air temperatures and trends.

Especially in races in an area of unsteady weather like Le Mans and the Sarthe region, the latest forecasts and radar information from RaceMet remain irreplaceable. At the chaotic and very wet race at Le Mans race in 2001, where the weather was continually threatening the race with torrential rain, the predictions of RaceMet were likened to, and weighed like, gold. Ralf Jüttner, Technical Director of the Audi Sport Team Joest said ‘While other teams were sliding all over the track on their slicks, we had already changed onto rain tires on the advice from RaceMet ‘.

In order not to be left out in the rain in 2006, once again the team around Reinhold Joest continues trusting in the work of David Morton and his team at RaceMet. Certainly, RaceMet Radar Systems can, once again, contribute to the Audi Sport Team Joest at this year’s 24-hour race
