Audi Confirms Driver Lineups For 2011 Programs Bernhard, Fassler, Kristensen and McNish form ILMC core team Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich has managed to sign all nine drivers who mounted the podium after last year's historical one-two-three Audi finish in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Le Mans in 2011. The drivers who compete for the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) for Audi are also confirmed. "Over the last few years we've had a very strong and harmonious driver line-up at Le Mans," says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "Any one of our three cars could have won, which explains why it was our aim to compete with an unchanged driver squad at Le Mans in 2011. I'm delighted that we achieved this. Now we can concentrate solely on the development of the Audi R18 and need not integrate any new drivers into the team, which would have been associated with additional work and risks. The schedule to Le Mans is tight enough as it is." More >>>
