Audi factory driver André Lotterer was in action on Saturday in the historic rally ‘Legend Boucles de Spa’ as ambassador for the FIA World Endurance Championship.
His Audi quattro Group 4 from the 1981 season was running with a livery advertising the WEC 6-hour race at Spa on May 4. Unfortunately, due to a leaking fuel tank in the 32-year old original quattro, the defending World Endurance Champion was unable to contest every special stage.
“However, we had big fun on the stages that we completed,” explained Lotterer. “It was a fantastic experience to contest the rally with a quattro from my year of birth – especially the opening stages on snow and ice: we were really fast and we occasionally ran as high as third. I’m convinced that this outing taught me a lot from the driving point of view. Now I’ve tasted blood, I would love to compete again next year.”
