Audi show off first concept car after confirming F1 entry plans

German manufacturer Audi have announced that they will be joining the F1 grid in 2026, when new power unit regulations come into play.

Audi have shared a first look at how their brand could be represented in F1 after confirmation of the manufacturer's upcoming entry. After months of speculation and deliberation, Audi have finally announced that they will become an F1 power unit supplier when the sport's new formula begins in 2026.
