J.G. Mal-Voy, Laurens Vanthoor

Audi is saddened to learn of the death of J.G. Mal-Voy. As the Belgian Audi Club’s Chairman, Mal-Voy discovered and promoted renowned race driver personalities in his native Belgium during a period spanning more than three decades, and initiated and supported highly successful racing programs. Countless Belgian drivers owe important stages in their careers to him. They include Jean-François Hemroulle, one of a total of seven Audi Touring Car Champions, in 1996, or Laurens Vanthoor, the current Blancpain title winner and last year’s winner of the Spa 24 Hours in the Audi R8 LMS ultra. Mal-Voy had unexpectedly passed away on Monday at the age of 67. “His death has deeply shocked us,” says Head of Audi Motorsport on behalf of all employees of Audi Sport and Audi Sport customer racing. “In addition to his untiring commitment to the four rings, he was an outstanding and versatile personality. He was highly respected in the entire world of racing. Our thoughts are with J.G. Mal-Voy’s family. We will always remember him.”
