Plank and ride height
Sparks are not just visual, they reflect how closely the car runs to the track, linking directly to ride height control and regulatory limits.
This is the beginning
of a new chapter.

Steering wheel & systems
The steering wheel concentrates control, allowing the driver and engineers to manage multiple systems and adjust performance throughout the lap.
Leica scanning
Leica scanning ensures millimetre level accuracy, verifying that the car meets strict technical regulations at all times.
Sensors and setup
The team reads the car through real time data on temperatures, pressures and distances to understand the Audi R26 behaves on track.

Four shifts shaping the Audi R26.
Smaller and lighter
Cars become smaller, lighter and more agile. The Audi R26 reflects this shift with a wheelbase reduced by approx. 200 mm, a width cut by 100 mm and a minimum weight reduced by approx. 30 kg. Less size and less mass help sharpen handling and support closer racing.
Active aero
Active aerodynamics replace the familiar DRS logic. The Audi R26 uses adjustable front and rear wings to change its aerodynamic profile in real time. X Mode reduces drag on the straights, while Z Mode increases downforce through corners, helping the car balance speed, grip and efficiency across the lap.
Rebalanced power
The 1.6 litre turbo V6 remains, but the power unit changes significantly. The 2026 setup is designed around a roughly 50/50 split between combustion and electric power, with much higher electrical output than before. Performance becomes less about peak power alone and more about smart energy delivery.
Fuel redefined
From 2026, all Formula 1® cars run on fully sustainable fuel. For the Audi R26, fuel chemistry becomes a key performance battleground. bp Ultimate Racing Fuel is co developed with Audi to meet FIA sustainability requirements while maximizing performance, efficiency and consistency under race conditions.
