Audi goes 1-2 in the 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans!

Audi has gone 1-2 in the 2014 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans! Fassler, Lotterer, and Treluyer earned the honor of winning this great race in the No. 2 Audi. Their sister car, the No. 1, brought home second, while the No. 8 Toyota fought back after an early crash to finish third.

This is the third overall victory at Le Mans for all three of those drivers. As a team, they also did it back in 2011 and 2012. For Audi, it's their 13th Le Mans triumph in the last 15 years; five in-a-row too! This one certainly wasn't easy for the Audi team however. Their No. 3 car was destroyed in an early crash while the other two spent extensive stays int the garage area before fighting their way back up the order.
