Marco Werner identifies the Audi R8 prototype as the car that changed his career and his life. And he’s not wrong.
Finishing third at the 2002 Le Mans 24 Hours, his first start in an R8, resulted in Werner being brought into the Audi fold full-time the following year and led to a glittering career at the pinnacle of sportscar racing that yielded three Le Mans victories. It’s little surprise therefore that Werner picks a car that was only defeated once in six attempts at Le Mans as his favourite car.
