Auer and Teammates Secure GT-Endurance Cup Title
The Austrian and his teammates clinched the title after a fourth-place finish at the Nürburgring.
Tyrolean motorsport driver Lucas Auer, along with his German teammates Maro Engel and Luca Stolz, prematurely secured the overall victory in the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup.
A fourth-place finish was enough for the Winward Mercedes drivers on Sunday in the three-hour race at the Nürburgring. The Austrian and his teammates currently hold a 27-point lead over their rivals.
For Engel and Stolz, it marks their second title; for Auer, the victory is a first. "That was simply a very consistent championship. Many thanks to Mercedes and my teammates. Winning the title prematurely means a lot to me. I am very happy to have won my first Endurance title," the Tyrolean is quoted by the "Salzburger Nachrichten".
He adds: "Now we will continue to push for the Sprint Cup and the overall cup." The season finale is scheduled for October 17 in Portimão.
