Audi remains unbeaten in the Petit Le Mans with a dramatic win at Road Atlanta.

“Of course it's a bit disappointing for me and Lucas,” he said. “We did a good job during the race and have been in the lead for a long time. The caution periods do not always help you. In the end I was on used tyres while Allan and Peugeot had new tyres. I could do nothing against them. But it's great that Audi has won the race. It was a top job from the whole team."

Audi motorsport Wolfgang Ullrich admitted he was thrilled with the victory as his team once again got the edge on rivals Peugeot.

"This year, we have won the Le Mans 24 Hours, the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans Series and now also ‘Petit Le Mans' with the Audi R10 TDI,” he said. “You can hardly demonstrate ‘Vorsprung durch Technik' in a more impressive way. Yet again we showed how good Audi TDI Power is. Peugeot was strong, but we were even stronger. If you start with a two-lap deficit and still win, this is no coincidence. The whole squad did a great job after the accident in the morning. We are proud that we were able to continue our ‘Petit Le Mans' winning streak."
