Despite the dreadful weather which hit, and shortened, the 6 Hours of Fuji there was reason to celebrate for Audi who wrapped up the FIA World Endurance Manufacturers’ Championship. Many congratulations to the super-successful German squad for its second consecutive title.
Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport): “We’d very much have liked to offer a great race to the many enthusiastic Japanese fans. Unfortunately, the weather today prevented this. Nobody can be blamed for this. And that the race was ultimately stopped was the only reasonable decision – safety always takes top priority. We’re happy about the World Championship title even though we’d have liked to have clinched it under different circumstances. I’m sure that the Japanese fans can look forward to a great sports car race at Fuji next year.”
Will the title be claimed as early in the 2014 season in the face of opposition from both Toyota Racing and the Porsche LMP1 challenger? Join us at every one of the eight rounds of the FIA WEC, including at Fuji in Japan, to find out!
