Two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and Audi factory driver Andre Lottrer was competing in the "Legend Boucles de Spa" historic rally this Saturday, at the wheel of a 1981 Group 4 Audi quattro.
The German, who grew up in the area, was slowed down by a leaking fuel tank.
He was therefore unable to complete the event.
"However, we had big fun on the stages that we completed," explained an enthusiastic Lotterer.
"It was a fantastic experience to contest the rally with a quattro from my year of birth – especially the opening stages on snow and ice: we were really and we occasionally ran as high as third.
"I'm convinced that this outing taught me a lot from the driving point of view. Now I've tasted blood, I would love to compete again next year."
