With limited days of testing in Formula E, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler prepares for the fully-electric racing series in the state-of-the-art simulator at the headquarters of Audi Sport in Neuburg an der Donau.
Starting in 2026 Audi will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with a specially developed power unit and now presents the first images of its Showcar with Audi F1 launch livery.
By entering the highest class of motorsports in 2026, Audi is tackling its most challenging ambition to date: combining sustainability, innovation, and maximum performance in motorsports. Audi’s decision hinged on the new regulations introduced by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Among other things, the FIA requires using sustainable synthetic fuels from 2026 and increasing the power unit’s electric share by up to 50 percent. Audi intends to actively drive the transformation of what is by far the world’s most important motorsports series. The power unit will be developed at the Neuburg an der Donau site. In the future, the Formula 1 program will spearhead the factory’s motorsports activities.
