VW has to find that $15 billion somewhere. ;)

End of an era. Audi was the standard everyone measured themselves against.

Now that they have time and no money, how about a badging some IndyCar engines? :tony:

Porsche LMP1 Team ‏@Porsche_Team

We extremely regret the absence of this great competitor @audisport @FIAWEC @24hoursoflemans Thanks for the great racing. 2 more to come...

So does Porsche also bail? Does Toyota? :shakehead:

"2 more to come..." refers to the remaining two rounds of the WEC at Shanghai and Bahrain.

Maybe Le Mans will turn into a Japanese competition. Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan. That would be fun to watch.

I doubt it. Mazda couldn't justify that sort of price. I'm not sure Renault (which owns Nissan) could justify WEC and F1. Honda has its fingers in enough pies already
