The 1996 Auto Trader RAC British Touring Car Championship season marked the arrival of Audi to the sport with their four-wheel drive A4s. The title was won by Frank Biela, with Swiss driver Alain Menu again finishing in second place and Swede Rickard Rydell in third.
Car introduction
After bringing 4WD technology to the world of rallying and demonstrating its overwhelming power, Audi’s next goal was to challenge 4WD in circuit racing. Based on the A4 Quattro 4-door sedan, the car made its debut in Class 2 touring car racing in 1995. The following year, in 1996, it also competed in the BTCC in England.
The engine was a longitudinally mounted inline 4-cylinder 2-liter that produced over 300 horsepower. Power was transmitted to all four wheels by a quattro system via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
The 4WD A4 won the championship with driver Frank Biela, despite the 100 kg “weight handicap” imposed on the 2WD machine.
This was a great testament to the effectiveness of 4WD in racing on circuit courses on paved surfaces.
