Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Tréluyer, who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year, will get a chance to defend their World Endurance Championship (WEC) title together in 2013.

The Swiss, the German and the Frenchman will be co-driving the lead Audi R18 e-tron quattro in the 2013 WEC season.

In the second car, Audi has elected to pair veterans Tom Kristensen, from Denmark, and Allan McNish, from Scotland, with Loïc Duval, from France.

Spain's Marc Gene, Brazil's Lucas di Grassi and Great Britain's Oliver Jarvis will take care of the team's third prototype entry, racing only at Spa and Le Mans.

"With these three combinations we've put together an international team that we expect a lot of," says Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, head of Audi Motorsport.

"Our younger driver will have the chance to establish themselves alongside the experienced Audi drivers who have really been pleasing us with their top results in all these years."
