Audi's Decision About The Race Program

There were reports about VW Group’s decision to kill off the endurance program of Audi. This measure had to cut costs.

The director of motorsport at the second company stated that the decision has not been made. So, nothing has been decided yet.

In his interview, the boss said that is looking to the future as an optimist. The race program is being organized in its regular fashion.

The head noticed that the automaker’s concept for the next rules cycle is being developed. Ulrich is on the side of the automaker’s decision to make an investment in diesel for the endurance racers. According to him, this can be compared with patrol engines being still popular. Ulrich considers that the diesel engine is among the most efficient combustion engines ever.
