2010 Audi R15+ – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nAudi<\/a> has just dropped a bunch of photos of the new livery that its R15+ TDI race cars will wear for 2010 beginning with their competition debut this weekend in France. The heavily revised R15+<\/a> features a completely new aerodynamic treatment up front and along the sides, a change which Audi hopes will allow the car to have both better grip and lower drag than than last year’s model<\/a>. In fact, it looks like almost nothing but the cockpit area has been carried over, with the racer’s side-pods and even the rear wing being heavily re-worked.<\/p>\n

The 2009 car was something of a disappointment and for the first time in a decade (aside from 2003 when Audi stepped aside in favor of sister brand Bentley<\/a>) was handily beaten at Le Mans. Audi opted to skip last month’s American Le Mans Series opener at Sebring to spend the time testing. Only one R15+ will run at Le Castellet this weekend for the opener of the Le Mans Series, and we don’t expect to see the R15+ racing in North America until the Petit Le Mans in September. <\/p>\n
