The chequered flag of the 80th edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours will be at 15:00, it could be taken first by the Audi R18 e-tron quattro No. 1 driven by Andre Lotterer, his team mate Benoit Treluyer gives us his thoughts on Leena Gade whose Le Mans victory in 2011 brought her into the limelight.
Benoit Treluyer: "Leena is an extraordinary girl, she ran the car very well for us at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2011, and Andre, Marcel and I owe a lot to her for the victory. I think her Indian origins give her an open mind. She is very humble, she wanted to hold back until things calmed down. The fact that she is a woman certainly had a different perception from the general public, but for us, Leena is primarily a member of our team. She made us laugh a lot in the sense that she ended up in numerous magazines when she did not expect it at all. But then it all calmed down, we continued to work normally and today, this story makes us laugh more than anything else. However, as for drivers, she was not alone, there is a team behind her, and it was through teamwork that we won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. "...
