August Horch (12 October 1868 – 3 February 1951) was a German engineer, automotive pioneer, and founder of both Horch and Audi, two of the four brands later united under the Auto Union emblem that forms the basis of the modern Audi logo.
Built on the former RAF Silverstone bomber station, the circuit hosted the inaugural round of the Formula One World Championship in 1950 and has remained one of the sport's defining venues ever since.
The Auto Union Type C is a Grand Prix racing car developed for the 1936 and 1937 European Championship seasons under the 750-kg formula, and represents the pinnacle of the mid-engined V16 design lineage created by Ferdinand Porsche.
The Auto Union Type A Rekordwagen was a specialized high-speed record vehicle developed from the Type A Grand Prix racing car during the winter of 1934–1935.
In 1933, Auto Union commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to design a racing car capable of competing under the newly introduced 750 kg Grand Prix formula, which limited vehicle weight but placed no restriction on engine displacement.
