Chris Reinke, Head of LMP at Audi Sport, summed up the weekend: “Our performances were good today and we delivered a thrilling battle up to checkered flag. We were strong in terms of driving, reliable in terms of technology, the entire crew did a superb job, and we acted well in terms of tactics. As a result, we kept the title decision open up to the finale.”
The decision in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) will be made in three weeks from now at the end of the season race in Bahrain on November, 21.
