FINDING A LOT IN LIFE
PROFILE: ANDRÉ LOTTERER
ANDRÉ LOTTERER HAS a hunch he might be the most experienced single-seater racing driver in history, despite his record including just one solitary Formula 1 grand prix start. He must be up there. For much of the past two decades, the 39-year-old has juggled a colourfully diverse dual racing life, consistently logging race starts and miles in openwheelers while also becoming one of his generation’s greatest endurance sports car racers. Born to a Belgian mother and Peruvian-German father who ran his own racing team, Lotterer remains an open-hearted car nut with an unquenchable thirst for speed and power, now competing in Formula E.
The all-electric world championship hasn’t been kind to Lotterer so far. In four seasons, two for DS Techeetah and two as a member of the factory Porsche team, he’s yet to win a race. In the most recent campaign he finished a lowly 17th in the standings after a season that featured too many clashes with rivals.
