I hope it's just sensationalist news. Audi retireing from WEC is just a rumor so far and they will be there next year for sure. On the WRC side VW have extended their commitment.
On the other hand sometimes things get twisted in a very short time period, like when Peugeot retired from WEC. In the end it's all about money.
Personally I hope it's just sensationalism, the VW group has been very involved in motorsport and they see the value of it so I hope that continues.
Audi leaving WEC is not a rumour, it has been confirmed. Pulling out after this season.
I kind of thinking for a while now that Tanak will be placed in Lancia or Subaru (if the dream will come true), like some kind of a underdog. In Hyundai he will never achieve much, Ford is too slow...
Actualy I noticed that Ogier had massive understeer, then Pajari some of it. Fourmaux on the other hand didn't have that problems. Do he have 2025 or 2024 car?
Fourmaux and Neuville with 25 car, Tänak with 24 car
