Audi Sport Team
Joest will have a tougher race to deal
with one of its cars, as Frenchman Benoit
Tréluyer will not be present in the 6
Hours of Nürburgring, fourth round of
the FIA World Endurance Championship.
According to Audi,
Tréluyer sustained spinal injury after a mountain bike ride, and
although it wasn’t huge, it left the three time Le Mans winner out
of action at least for the German round of the competition. This
setback will leave the No. 7 R18 e-tron Quattro with Andre Lotterer
and Marcel Fässler at the wheel, with no replacement for the driver
being announced, as most of the possible names that could enter as a
substitute are in preparation for the 24
Hours of Spa to be held at the end of
the month too.
The No. 7 Audi
currently sits in 4th
place in the LMP1
standings with 35 points, 19 points away from 3rd
placed No. 6 Toyota Gazoo Racing car.
