Lucas di Grassi, Formula 1 driver in 2010 with Virgin, should have made his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year because he had signed a contract with Peugeot Sport. Following the demise of the programme of the French manufacturer, the Brazilian driver was without a drive until September 2012 when he joined Audi for the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo. The Paulista gave satisfaction, Audi enlisted him for their 2013 campaign with the 24 Hours of Le Mans as a goal. His first appearance in the Sarthe was successful as he finished on the third step of the podium and was named best "rookie".

	Announced as a Peugeot driver in 2012, he finally began in endurance at Audi
