New Audi R8 LMS wins Nurburgring 24 Hours

The battle for victory in the Eifel endurance race has not been as thrilling as this in a long time. The lead changed 35 times during the 24 hours - a record in the event that has been held since 1970. After the race's midpoint, either the number '28' R8 LMS or its fiercest rival was running in front, depending on the pit stop sequence.

In the end, the Belgian Audi team prevailed with a concentrated performance of its drivers and solid teamwork. Vincent Vosse's squad and each of the four race drivers celebrated their first victory in this classic event. 
 
"This was a weekend of thrilling racing, as well as an intense and nerve-wracking one," said Romolo Liebchen, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. 
 
Vincent Vosse was delighted about another success of his young team, "We've already won the Spa 24 Hours with Audi and now we achieved success on the Nurburgring as well. My thanks for this go to a motivated squad, four talented drivers and to Audi Sport customer racing for their solid support. We're very happy that we can thank Audi by taking the first 24-hour victory of the new race car."
