Label: Neon Retro Records

Speedworld's first release "Racing In The USA" focuses on Audi Sport's ventures in US motor sports in the mid and late 1980's.

Starting in 1985, Audi wins the prestigious hill climb up the legendary 4301 metre high Pikes Peak in the US State of Colorado three times in succession. Michèle Mouton triumphs in 1985, the American motorsport legend Bobby Unser wins in 1986 and Walter Röhrl in 1987. The powerful Audi Sport quattro S1, with almost 600 hp, storms up the peak in record time.

Audi first came to the North American circuit racing through the Trans-Am Championship in 1988 with their 200 Quattro model taking eight wins as well as the championship in their first year with what could have been called the “unfair advantage” also known as the Quattro four-wheel drive system.

After upsetting the Trans-Am officials as well as team and drivers and being pushed out of the championship through a specific rule banning all-wheel drive system for 1989, Audi departed and focused on the rival championship known as the IMSA Camel GT Championship with the Audi 90 IMSA GTO.
