The three Audi factory drivers won the drivers title early this year while Audi decided the manufacturers classification in its favor for the second time in succession.

Audis three WEC World Champions received several awards at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London on Monday. Loïc Duval, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish were presented with the Silverstone Le Mans Challenge trophy of the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) for the best combined performances in the Silverstone 6 Hours and the Le Mans 24 Hours.

In addition to that, the BRDC honored Allan McNish as the highest-placed British driver at Le Mans with the 2013 ACO Award. Tom Kristensen was awarded the Innes Ireland Trophy as the driver who best displayed the qualities of courage and sportsmanship epitomized by the late Innes Ireland. The nine-time Le Mans winner Kristensen received this award for his grace and professionalism in dealing with the loss of his fellow Dane Allan Simonsen.
