Audi and XBOX have combined their performance oriented talents to produce the truly exciting challenge of a lifetime – the AXF-24, a grueling twenty-four hour motorsport gaming challenge at the Audi Forum in New York City June 13 and June 14, 2009.

When they arrive, they will compete in the most grueling challenge of their life – a 24 hour gaming competition.
The rules are simple – there are three teams, each with three individual drivers, who race for 24-hours straight… with each driver racing for XX combined hours. You read correctly – racing and competing for 24 hours – exactly as the 24 Hours of Le Mans – experiencing the same demanding ‘time in chair’ challenge as the Le Mans drivers themselves. In a nutshell, the Team that completes the most laps in the 24 hour time period will be the crowned the AXF – 24 Champions.
Kelli Stavast, the renown Speed Channel Motorsport commentator, will be the Master of Ceremonies. Media and registered VIP Guests will have the unique opportunity to preview the awaited debut of Forza Motorsport 3 from XBOX 360.
Additionally, Audi will showcase the legendary R8 FSI and R10 TDI clean diesel Le Mans race cars at the Forum and offer a variety of informative activities throughout the weekend.
