With the Le Man 24 Hours just five weeks away, Audi driver Allan McNish is preparing with a full ‘dress rehearsal’ in Germany next Sunday (May 9th).

The Scotsman has won the event twice in his illustrious career and he will be joined by eight teammates, who will all be driving the latest Audi R15 TDI Plus sports-prototypes in a 1,000km preparation race at Spa-Francorchamps.

"We’ll face our fiercest rivals for the first time this year, the factory Peugeot team, which also has a three-car entry at Spa and then Le Mans in June," McNish said.

Spa is the second round of the Le Mans Series (LMS), with McNish and Italian teammate Dindo Capello having won the Paul Ricard LMS event earlier this month.

The Le Mans 24 Hours is the world’s oldest sports car endurance race and has been held annually since 1923 near the town of Le Mans, Sarthe, France.
