==In-game description==
"A regular on the podium of the 2010 French GT Championships, by the legendary Team Oreca."
Oreca is one of the top racing teams in France, always in position to take the victory in any race. Since their founding in 1972, they have competed in just about every possible category including Formula, Rally, Rally Raid, Touring car, GT Car, and Prototype Sportscars. Their activities are not only limited to France but extend into European competitions, FIA World Championships, and 24-hour Endurance races including Le Mans, and are well known for having considerable success in all of these races and series. For 2010, Oreca selected the Audi R8 LMS to compete in the FFSA GT Championship.
The car built to FIA GT3 specifications is based on the R8 5.2 FSI quattro, the high-performance version of the R8. This monster machine is powered by a V10 engine, and produces 517 BHP. Due to 4WD not being permitted by the regulations, the quattro system has been omitted and the car is now rear-wheel drive. The transmission has been changed to a sequential 6-speed with a tiptronic system, and a front spoiler and rear wing have been added for aerodynamic performance. The output of the engine depends on the restrictor being used but produces between 512 BHP to 552 BHP.
Oreca ran 2 cars as Oreca Audi France team in the first half of the series, and Audi Team Oreca in the latter half. They were familiar faces throughout the series on the podium, with Stephane Ortelli/David Hallyday achieving one 1st place, three 2nd places and a 3rd. Soheil Ayari and Bruno Hernandez achieved 1st place once, and 3rd place once.
