Audi A1 ready for French Rallycross


By Johan Laubscher

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.

Racing Team Jagu is a French rallycross team who have been competing with Audis for many years. The team became famous for running their blue Audi A3 rallycross racer. For the 2012 season they embarked on a new challenge, that of building a new Audi A1 rallycross car. They sold their Audi A3 at the end of 2011 to Jimmy Terpereau, who now competes with the car. The old A3 is still very competitive as it took victory at the most recent French Rallycross round at Lohéac. Along with their old car taking victory at the event the Team Jagu crew were also at Lohéac. Racing Team Jagu presented their not yet complete Audi A1 car at the event. The team have been working very hard on the car. They have successfully changed the small A1 into a much more aggressive looking machine. The wide body kit they developed looks stunning on the car. Below are some photos of the car at the event followed by build photos. We look forward to seeing this car compete, it will look great on course. Thanks to Racing Team Jagu for the photos.
