Audi defeated Porsche and Toyota at Le Mans

In front of almost 300,000 spectators last Sunday (15 June), Audi continued its string of victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours. In the 82nd running of the world's most important endurance race, Marcel Fassler/Andre Lotterer/Benoit Treluyer and Lucas di Grassi/Marc Gene/Tom Kristensen made for a one-two Audi victory.

It marked the 13th Le Mans success for the brand with the four rings in only 16 runs. Audi Sport Team Joest prevailed against massive competition by Le Mans returnee Porsche and Toyota in a very tough race that was completely open for a long time. The decision in favour of the two Audi R18 e-tron quattro cars was only made in the final phase of the race.

For Audi this marked the 13th victory in the '24 Heures,' the eight one with TDI Power and the third one with hybrid race car.
