Updated



As Andre Lotterer crossed the finish line on Sunday to give Audi its 10th victory at Le Mans, it marked another achievement at the historic race for the team's race engineer.

Leena Gade, who is the No. 1 race engineer for the factory Audi Sport team and whose car was that driven by the winning trio, became the first female engineer to win the sportscar endurance classic.
