it won the 1999 Sebring 12 hour Race, and other races against the Audi in the ELMS. Also, Audi did run in the 1999 series. It was the Audi Roadster, and I think it ran in the European LeMans series.

I forgot to add ELMS to the news post, because I don't follow the European LeMans series...not yet anyway... BMW AG pulled away from LeMans after the V12 LMR won in 99. They moved to F1 which was a mistake, because Ferrari owns F1. in 2000, BMW AG didn't have full support for the ALMS OR ELMS!!!

BMW did race agaisnt the Audis in 1999, but Audi ran the R8R, not the one that dominates racing now which was introduced in 2000. BMW will start to battle Ferrari this year in F1, they have a lead in points of about 12. BMW won Le Mans in 1999, which was their only goal.

it's really amazing that the Audi's turbo 4 cylinder can beat even the Panoz LMP900 with it's V8...

The Audi R8R and R8C ran in 1999, but they ran under different groups, the R8C was run by audi UK. The Audi R8, which first raced in 2000 is powered by a 3.6 (well 3.x anyway) liter v8 twin turbo, not a 4.

shows how much I know about audi - the commentators said they had a turbo 4 cylinder last year at Mosport Int'l Raceway...I dunno why they said that if it was incorrect...
