A facebook reader helps Audi engineers during Dubai 24 hours race
Eight-and-a-half hours into the Dubai 24 Hours endurance race, United Autosports mechanics had a question about their Audi R8 GT3 LMS racecar. Lucky for them, a very well-connected Audi engineer was reading.
"Does anyone know where the location is for the starter relay and main relay on a R8? Is it in the front BSG or fusebox?" the team posted on Facebook via Audi Sport's FB page. As it turns out, engineer Markus Ferlora, of Audi's high-performance division quattro GmbH, saw the question, and left a detailed answer:
"It's right rear the last two big Relais [sic] are for the starter. The first two big Relais [sic] are the main Relais [sic] for the Engine."
