One of my favorite liveries of that era. Also the cars were amazing in WC too.
Great article-love the history behind these cars!

Thanks so much!
Was great era in Florida when two powerhouse Porsche/Audi dealerships campaigned full time racing efforts. Champion Porsche/Audi of Pompano Beach in South Florida (R8 prototypes, Porsches and aforementioned Audi sedans) and legendary Brumos P/A of Jax in North Florida (long history of privateer and factory Porsche racing). I recall my dad buying an MGB in the 1960's from what later became Brumos. My brother and me sitting on small jump seats behind our folks.
Sadly Brumos dealership closed though the museum is quite nice and Champion isn't involved in motorsports as they were.
Great memories! Glad to see one of the Champion Audi's Randy raced brought back to life!

I remember somewhere around 2005 when one of the Champion Audi R8 LMP900 cars showed up on ebay. It was an obsolete, no-longer-class-legal race car and sold for something like $50K. I hate to think what that car is worth now. :)
