To mark the launch of the new Legends of Le Mans series in 2026, Peter Auto, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, and Le Mans Endurance Management have announced the appointment of Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich as the series’ official ambassador.

A well-known figure in modern endurance racing and former director of Audi Sport, Dr. Ullrich left his mark on the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the head of Audi’s LMP1 program, notably with the R10, R15, and R18. Under his leadership, the manufacturer secured 13 victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, establishing one of the most impressive records in the history of the discipline.

Launched for the 2026 season, Legends of Le Mans will bring together LMP1, LMP2, and LMGTE cars that raced between 2006 and 2020, a period that shaped contemporary endurance racing. These legendary prototypes and GTs will make their grand return to the best international circuits in 2026.

As an ambassador, Dr. Ullrich will be present at all races throughout the season, putting his experience and expertise at the service of the drivers and their teams, undertaking speaking engagements, sharing support and experience with drivers, and take a sporting consultant role, as well as acting as a spokesperson for the drivers and the series.
