Earlier we shared a couple of images to celebrate Porsche competing in the top category of the Le Mans 24 Hours, for the first time in 16 years. Rival Volkswagen Group member Audi decided to make a little video to personally salute the return of the Zuffenhausen company to Le Mans:

It’s not the first time we’ve seen Audi take to the road in the R-18 e-tron quattro, but it is the first time we’ve seen it overtaking a Porsche tractor. A subtle, friendly, dig at Porsche’s history perhaps?

Anyway, it’s rather cool and shows that things are already heating up between the German LMP1-H competitors ahead of next weekend’s main event.
