This will be his 14th participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Andre Lotterer made a strong impression in Sarthe with his engagements with Audi, Rebellion, and more recently, Porsche.<\/p>\n
The three-time winner of the event is one of the most experienced here. However, in his latest outings with the Stuttgart brand, his performance level had significantly dropped. The team used him much less than his teammates K\u00e9vin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor.<\/p>\n
But it doesn’t matter. The 43-year-old man will be back on the starting grid next June. He has been called up by IDEC Sport. The team received two entries for the event.

Le Mans is always a special challenge, and I have already exchanged ideas with Mathys (Jaubert) and Jamie (Chadwick) to optimize our preparation, highlighted the German.<\/p>\n
