In Misano, Robert Consani/Benjamin Lariche won both sprint races for the first time this year. Lariche started the first race in third place in the Audi R8 LMS GT4.

Robert Consani took over the cockpit, was eager to attack and initially overtook a McLaren. He then fought a door-to-door duel with the leading Mercedes-AMG over several corners, which he overtook on the 29th of 34 laps. A half-second lead was enough for Consani and his teammate to take their third

Combined Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 FinanceStrategy & Company ESG Appendix 2 Audi Report 2024 Co ve r: A U D I A G | Ph ot o: A U D I A G Our 2024 annual and sustainability report is being published at a time when Germany and Europe are viewing their international competitiveness with a degree of apprehension.
