Audi's attempts to win this year's edition of the Nurburgring 24 Hours got off to an excellent start as the qualifying session for the event ended with four examples of the R8 LMS racer filling out the first four grid positions for this weekend's race.
This will be the first time in the history of the 24-hour race at the N�rburgring that an Audi will start from pole position.
Three-time Le Mans winner Marco Werner finished first in an Audi R8 LMS run by ABT Sportsline. Werner broke the existing lap record for the current N�rburgring circuit layout by almost two seconds with a lap time of 8 minutes and 24.753 seconds.
