Audi Sport Team Joest has seen its #2 car, driven by Benoît Tréluyer, Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer, claim victory in a drama filled race at Le Mans.
The #2 car started from pole and won by just 13.854 seconds from the #9 Peugeot 908. The #8 Peugeot, two laps down, claimed the final podium step.
The Audi team lost two of its cars in spectacular fashion when both Allan McNish and Mike Rockenfeller survived horrific crashes.
By claiming its tenth win from thirteen starts Audi has added to its recent dominance at Le Mans once again. The German marque now stands alone on the all time honour list, behind Porsche (16 wins) and ahead of Ferrari (9 wins).
