    Audi Return?

    I thought it would only happen if hell froze over but I'm a bit more optimistic now. I talked to a person on how unlikely it would ever be and this person said its probably going to happen sometime in the not so near future.

    Audi is totally-involved in the Endurance with his LMP1 prototype, so if they haven't a big sponsor who supports the return, is very difficult to see them in the WRC stages...

    Agreed but this person used words like "definitely" he is involved in the car industry and has close ties to German manufacturers.

    Audi not only in LeMans series at the moment. but also in DTM, which might be even more expensive than WRC. So I hardly beleive they can return.

    I'm not sold either but coming from an insider I was a little shocked, time will tell.

    They did a project, but it's more for fun, I think

    I add that various importers are involved in various championship, as Audi Sport Italia is in Superstars Championship with a "works" RS4 and against BMW, Jaguar and Cadillac...

    we can't compare importers with manufacturers. They are playing at different levels.

    I think it's more likely to Matt Wilslow win the championship than Audi to make the comeback to WRC.

    Audi don't want to get beaten and get their cars dirty. End of story!
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
