Audi win "Petit Le Mans” and ALMS title


For a fifth consecutive time, an Audi R8 has won the "Petit Le Mans” event at Road Atlanta (USA), one of the highlights of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). On the demanding track near Atlanta, JJ Lehto/Marco Werner and Johnny Herbert & Pierre Kaffer secured a 1-2 victory for Team ADT Champion Racing, and in doing so clinched the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ titles early in the LMP1 category. JJ Lehto and Marco Werner had already wrapped up the Drivers’ title. Audi have won the Manufacturers’, Teams’ and Drivers’ titles in the top class of the ALMS for a fifth consecutive time. Following an exciting opening stage to the race, Lehto and Werner took the lead at Road Atlanta at the beginning of the second hour and kept it until the finish. The sister car lost a total of three laps due to a collision with a GT car and an excursion into the gravel.
