That’s exactly what Romolo Liebchen did! The former Audi Sport Customer Racing boss loves the #B12hr and has had this dream for a while now. How he made it a reality, the incredible places he visited along the way, the planning, the bike & the challenges he encountered. Plus where he’s off to next and the insane k’s he’s chalked up on two wheels during his lifetime. We also chat about Audi’s change of direction in relation to its Customer R8 GT program and the big move into Formula One.
