The Audi R26 Concept is a design study created to preview Audi’s visual identity and design direction for its entry into the FIA Formula One World Championship in 2026.
Audi One was a corporate event organized by Audi AG in Munich, conceived as a high-profile platform for the brand to outline future strategy, debut major design studies, and present long-term technology and motorsport programs.
Audi revealed this Formula 1 showcar at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on August 26, 2022, using the Belgian Grand Prix weekend to announce its planned entry into the FIA Formula One World Championship for the 2026 season.
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.
