Videos: All the Audi Le Mans short films

By Johan Laubscher

In recent years Audi has always produced a short video documenting the Le Mans 24 Hour races. They are normally released a few months after the race in June, and they are always well received. These online videos started in 2009 and each year since then we have seen the annual addition of another new video. Audi also published similar videos in previous years which included 2006 and 2008. The 2012 video was published yesterday and once again it is an exciting production featuring the race this year. With the arrival of the new video we thought it would be a good idea to look back on all the previous videos. We have included all the Audi Le Mans short feature films below, they are all well worth watching again.
