Audi Belgian Club Team WRT Victory In 2014 Total 24 Hours of Spa
The driving combination of Rene Rast, Markus Winkelhock and Laurens Vanthoor gave Audi a third 24 Hour race win in just over two months. Audis also filled out third and fourth positions: Christopher Mies, Frank Stippler and James Nash took the final podium spot, a lap down on the top two; and the Stainteloc R8 shared by Stephane Ortelli, Edward Sandstrom and Gregory Guilvert was a further lap behind.
Sixth place went to the best of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMGs in the race, HTP Motorsport’s late entry for 2013 winners Maximilian Buhk and Maximilian Gotz and GT debutant Jazeman Jaafar.
The WRT Audi shared by three-time Le Mans 24 Hours winners Andre Lotterer, Marcel Fassler and Benoit Treluyer ended up 12th after a long delay when their R8 sustained damage in a collision in the 20th hour. Pro-Am honours went to the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia shared by Andrea Bertolini, Marco Cioci, Niek Hommerson and Louis Machiels.
