André Lotterer (GER)

Born: 19 November 1981
Where: Duisburg, Germany
Lives: Tokyo, Japan
Height: 1.84m

Although it is his first year as a Porsche LMP1 works driver, German-born André Lotterer needs little by way of an introduction. Lotterer, it seems, was born to race, having attended races with his father from a young age. With one Drivers’ World Championship under his belt already, and no less than three Le Mans 24 Hour wins to his name, Lotterer was a natural choice for Porsche when the Audi endurance team disbanded at the end of the 2016 season.
