Which team entered the Audi R8 that won the 2005 24 Hours of Le Mans overall?

The team that entered the Audi R8 that won the 2005 24 Hours of Le Mans overall was Champion Racing.

The winning No. 3 Audi R8 was entered by ADT Champion Racing, an American customer team associated with Audi. Tom Kristensen, JJ Lehto and Marco Werner shared the car, completing 370 laps in 24 hours and finishing two laps ahead of Pescarolo Sport’s No. 16 prototype.

Champion Racing entered two Audi R8s in the race. Its No. 2 car, driven by Frank Biela, Allan McNish and Emanuele Pirro, finished third overall, while Audi PlayStation Team Oreca’s R8 finished fourth. That makes the team name easy to confuse with Audi’s other entries or with the factory organization behind the car.

The victory was Audi’s fifth overall at Le Mans and the final Le Mans win for the original R8 prototype. It was also the first overall Le Mans victory by an American team, despite the car being an Audi.
