The three race drivers are jointly competing for Audi in their sixth year, currently driving the number ‘7’ Audi R18 e-tron quattro. With a track record of ten victories since 2012, they are the most successful WEC drivers of all time. The Swiss, the German and the Frenchman are the only driver combination to have mounted the podium at every round in the current season and were leading the World Championship for five races.
The number ‘8’ Audi impresses with its performances as well. Lucas di Grassi, Loïc Duval and Oliver Jarvis are driving together for the first time in 2015 and have continuously been increasing their form curve during the course of the year. In the second half of the season, they have regularly been battling for podium places and at Austin mounted the podium for the first time. Most recently, at Fuji, Loïc Duval managed to set the fastest race lap.
While Audi’s WEC drivers are competing in the penultimate round of the season, a thrilling title decision is expected in the supporting program at the same event, as the Audi R8 LMS Cup is holding its finale at Shanghai. Alex Yoong from Malaysia and Congfu Cheng from China are heading the standings tied on points in the Asian racing series for identical Audi GT3 sports cars.
