Former Audi Motorsport head Dieter Gass is to become team principal of Jota Sport’s Le Mans Hypercar team, which is running a Porsche 963 in the WEC.
The 59-year-old began his career in the mid-1990s working on the abortive Bugatti Le Mans project, followed by stints at Audi, Toyota and Lotus F1, before returning to Audi in 2012. There he was initially responsible for the firm’s DTM operations before succeeding Wolfgang Ullrich as head of Audi Motorsport, overseeing the marque’s entry into Formula E.
