The Audi team became the first winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a part-electric engine as Toyota suffered a crash that left driver Anthony Davidson in the hospital.
Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer took turns to drive an Audi R18 e-tron Quattro to victory, completing 378 laps of the 8.5-mile circuit in France yesterday. Davidson’s Toyota flipped over in the air for about 40 meters and smashed into a tire barrier.
