He also participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans driving an Audi R10. In addition to DTM and having already moderate experience with Le Mans Prototype cars, in 2008 he drove for Audi Sport Team Joest in the Le Mans Series, alongside Alexandre Prémat. Despite not winning any races, Rockenfeller and Prémat won the title at the 2008 1000 km of Silverstone, after an accident on lap 46 for the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP of Nicolas Minassian and Marc Gené. He also participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, occupying the third Audi entry with Prémat and Lucas Luhr. After qualifying fifth, their entry finished in fourth place overall, seven laps down on winning team-mates Rinaldo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish.

Rockenfeller took part in the 2014 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race[2] in the Spirit of Daytona Corvette Daytona Prototype with Richard Westbrook and Michael Valiante.

In 2021, it was announced that Rockenfeller would depart from DTM following the season, whilst also parting ways with Audi at the end of the year.
