Audi Withdrawls From ALMS Next Season

[simontibbett]

No more Audi in the Le Mans series, their car will debut at Sebring, run that, run Le Mans, and be done. They will run their new DTM car and FIA series car. ******* America.

Honda pulled out of F1 today too.

True but that's been in the works for a while now. Not really a big surprise. The actual team might run another manuf. engines, just HONDA won't be providing them and obviously nothing Honda will be about the team.

What's wrong with the pugs? They make some cool stylish cars.

Agreed! I could get on board for Porsche if they made the jump.
I suppose I'll just become an Acura "fan" by default.

They look good, but Simon likes them...lol

I don't have a problem with the Peugeot. Their car is fast. They just need to be more dependable.

Truth be told, I honestly had too much fun this year talking s- to Simon for 10 straight hours about how Audi would untimately win...which they did.

I think the lmp2 racing has always been pretty good, I'll continue rooting for the penske porsche team.

AUDI > ALMS... so I guess they've figured they can try to dominate another series i nracing. They wil be missed though.

That TRULY was a blast, especially how we SAW the pass right there, man that was great.

Too bad Audi won't sell their cars to say Champion like they did with the R8's and just not have factory backing.
