Audi has unveiled its driver line-up for the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The only place that has become vacant due to the retirement of Le Mans record winner Tom Kristensen will be filled - and, as usual at Audi, with a driver from the brand's own young-driver promotion program: Oliver Jarvis will move up from the third Le Mans car into the WEC regular driver squad and contest the full WEC season in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.
In the WEC, Audi continues to rely on Audi Sport Team Joest as in the past. The most successful Le Mans team of all time will be fielding two further-developed Audi R18 e-tron quattro cars in all eight races.
An additional R18 will be entered in the 6-hour race at Spa and in the Le Mans 24 Hours, with GT driver René Rast completing the line-up for these events.
2015 WEC drivers :
• Marcel Fässler (CH)/André Lotterer (D)/Benoît Tréluyer (F)
• Loïc Duval (F)/Lucas di Grassi (BR)/Oliver Jarvis (GB)
• Filipe Albuquerque (P)/Marco Bonanomi (I)/René Rast (D)
