Racing Team Jagu is a French rallycross team who have been loyal to Audi for many years. The team competed in the French Rallycross Championship with a first generation Audi A3 until 2011. They sold their A3 to another competitor during 2012 as they were preparing a new machine for 2013.

Towards the end of 2012 Racing Team Jagu announced that they had acquired an Audi A1 which would be prepared for the 2013 French Rallycross Championship. The car’s development looked promising, as this smallest of Audi road cars was turned into a rallycross machine. More about the development can be read HERE.

The car looks great and has undergone a lot of testing ahead of the 2013 season. It will be driven by Yvonnick Jagu.

The French Rallycross Championship gets underway this coming weekend, with the “Rallycross des Ducs” event. Two Audis will be present at the season opener. It will be the debut for the Jagu Audi A1, which will compete in the Super 1600 class. The second Audi will be the ex-Jagu Audi A3 which is driven by Jimmy Terpereau in the Division 4 class.

The Audi brand made history in the FIA World Rally Championship during the 1980s. The various versions of the legendary quattro won multiple championships and events in the hands of champions like Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola and Michèle Mouton. To this day Quattro still symbolizes the golden Group B years. Audi is out from the sport, but a lot of fans still dream about a comeback to rallying. Here is an outstanding artwork concept of the Audi A1 hatchback rally racer version with old style Audi Sport livery. Maybe it will never happen, but still it is a great tribute to an epic era.

Last year Audi France started a unique and very interesting single make series, the "Audi endurance experience". Open for Audi customers and featuring an all Audi A1 1.4 TFSI entry list.

Following the success of the first edition, the Audi endurance experience is back. Four qualifying events are scheduled this season around the most prestigious French race tracks, at Le Mans (Bugatti circuit), Magny-Cours, Nogaro and Paul Ricard. The big finale is a challenging 24 hour enduro event set at Paul Ricard in southern France. The series is limited to 26 cars with a five driver line-up for each of the Audi A1 cars. The four qualifying events are each 3 hour endurance races.

Being open for Audi customers and non professional drivers, the Audi A1 racer is very production based. The cars are using the 1.4 TFSI engine producing around 185 bhp. French motorsport specialists from Oreca were also involved in preparing the cars and made them safe for race purposes.

The 2012 calendar:
Le Mans, April 13th
Paul Ricard, June 1st
Nogaro, June 29th
Magny-Cours, September 7th
Paul Ricard (24 hour race), October 19th-21st
