Lotterer proud of Audi hybrid’s debut

Andre Lotterer says he is proud to have finished second with Audi's new R18 e-tron hybrid prototype on its debut, even though the German led for the majority of his opening stint in the World Endurance Championship's six-hour race at Spa. Lotterer, along with Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Fassler, could not maintain the advantage they had built up in the wet early stages, when the quattro technology came into its own, and were beaten by conventional R18 of Marc Gene, Loic Duval and Romain Dumas. But in spite of not being able to keep pace with the winning car in the dry conditions, Lotterer told AUTOSPORT afterwards that it was a strong start for the project
