Honda spend tons of money to develop the car that became BGP001.Subaru and Suzuki invested significantly on the Impreza 08 and SX4 WRC only to pull the plug.Last but not least,Toyota created a Yaris WRC and a TF110 in TMG only to store those two cars under a blanket in Cologne...

All of those examples(except Toyota in WRC) were active with various degrees of success.

Yes, Audi leaves WEC likely due to internal VAG war with Porsche which started after Porsche won Le Mans. Still we shall not downplay the impacts of the dieselgate. The overall loss for VW is going to be huge and will hurt a lot for many years to come. The VAG Group is also very special company as it is partially owned and driven by state Lower Saxony and the politics play an important role in its working. It doesn't matter that for us the WRC budget seems to be tiny compared to the overall numbers of the group or compared to the dieselgate loss. It may be closed, it may continue. We have to wait and see.

What I find really strange is, if they want to stop, why didn't they do that at the end of this year? Why bother developing a whole new car to then pull the plug out 1 year later. Doesn't make much sense to me...
