Season 141’s PC car is the Audi NEWING Alpil R8 RTR. This car was added to CSR2 as the milestone reward for season 117. The current fastest time for the NEWING Alpil is 7.949 seconds, placing it in the bottom quarter of tier 5 cars and not a very useful car for live racing or Tempest events. Dyno is 8.143 so it does beat dyno by almost .2 seconds as a slight benefit.
In 1899 August Horch established A. Horch & Cie in Cologne, Germany. In 1904 he formed August Horch & Cie. Motowagenwerke AG. In 1909 he moved on and founded his own companyAugust Horch Authomobilewerke GmbH. His old company sued for trademark infringement due to the extremely similar names and the Supreme Court sided with the original company. Horch in Latin is Audi which means “to listen”, and Audi Automobilwerke GmbH Zwickau was created in April 1910. In 1915 the name was shortened to Audiwerke AG Zwickau (the city in which it was located). The first Audi car was launched in 1910, the Type A Sport-Phaeton. The Tybe B was launched the same year and both were successful in sport racing, with three straight victories in the Austrian Alpine Run. In 1932 Augi merged with 3 other companies including the original Horch, and the four interlocking ring logo was created. During WWII, like many companies, Audi turned to primarily supporting the war effort and became a target of Allied bombing. At the end of the war, the Zwickau factory was deep in Eastern Germany and the Auto Union was dissolved as part of Soviet ordered reparations. As a result operations moved to what used to be a spare parts operation in Bavaria, West Germany. The Audi name was resurrected in 1965 after several periods of relative inactivity with respect to growth and shortly following Volkswagon’s purchase of 50% of the company in 1964. Since then Audi has experienced significant success and expansion as one of the most popular luxury brands in the world. In the 2011 Audi saw record sales and was producing vehicles in seven countries. In 2015 Audi admitted that over 2 million of their vehicles were part of the VW emissions scandal with nearly all vehicles involved. Despite this Audi reported sales increases during this period.

The experience is on Saturday, but his actual birthday is Thursday.
I had purchased a personalized, wooden keychain that has “drive safe; nobody else will put up with me” engraved in it to put in a card for his real birthday as an indicator of what is coming up on Saturday, but the darn thing has been back-ordered for a month and now all I have to show for the gift is a card. 😔
I know next to nothing about cars. I am a first grade teacher. 🤦♀️ Could you guys help me think of something that I could buy for a “mini, pre-gift”?
Thanks, guys. 😊
EDIT: Wow, you guys! This blew up! Thank you so much for responding and giving me such wonderful ideas. Hopefully, balancing my final master’s class project and school will allow me to steal some time away to find a lil’ something. Regardless, I will be them writing down (who am I kidding - taking screenshots!) and saving some of these amazing ideas for future occasions! The thoughtfulness of this sub is so touching. Maybe it’s because it’s shark week, but I’m just so moved by your taking the time to write responses. I will do my best to keep you guys updated on the situation! ❤️
Only 3 Audis in the first 3 splits in my last race in Red Bull Ring (one was me) is the car bad or the circuit isnt the best for the car?
Maybe i have to buy other car, because in the straights i feel im too slow (Gt4 engine, Gt4)
Season 113’s PC car is the Audi 2014 LB R8 V10 Plus Coupe. This car was added to the game over 2 years ago and was the reward for season 47. This car was also the Prestige Cup car for season 67 with a final time required of 12.1 seconds to complete in that season. As a car that has been around for a while and has had previous events, several stage 6 will likely be required with close to maxed fusions to complete this PC. The fastest time for the 2014 LB version is 10.726 seconds (.010 below dyno) placing just below the top half of Tier 4 cars.
