The first videos and images of the R26 on track were also captured at the same venue where the first pre-season test will take place at the end of January.
In line with filming day regulations, running was limited to a maximum of 200 kilometres, with the car fitted with special Pirelli demonstration tyres rather than the compounds that will be used during the 2026 season.
The first Audi F1 car will be officially launched on 20 January in Berlin.
