Audi Boss Say ‘Nothing Is Decided’ About The LMP1 Exit
Head of the Audi Motorsport says 'nothing is decided' about the reported LMP1 exit.
A
few
days
back,
some
rumours
surfaced
that
Audi
will
pull
its
LMP1
racers
out
of
the
World
Endurance
Championship
(WEC)
after
2017.
But
now,
the
Audi
boss
has
said
'nothing
is
decided'
about
this
exit.
According to a report from German publication Auto Motor und Sport, Volkswagen Group had decided to stop Audi's LMP1 programme in the wake of dieselgate. But Head of Audi Motorsport, Wolfgang Ullrich regretted it.
He said, "We have seen so many rumours in the press during the last years, and the good thing is in most cases the negative ones didn't occur.
"So I'm optimistically looking forward to the future. We are organising our race programme in the standard way, which is always in the autumn of the year.
"The meeting of the board where normally the motorsport programme is defined has not taken place yet, so nothing is decided."
Some of the manufacturers are shying away from making diesel engines, saying that they only have a limited lifespan, but Ullrich went to defend them.
He said, "We think that the diesel engine is still one of the most efficient combustion engines you can get. They can be very clean, it's just a question of working on it and developing it. As long as efficiency is a key factor, we think the diesel in racing is still a good solution."
