Audi Drivers

[HORNDAWG]

Well it seems that Dindo is out of the #1 and Marcel Fässler will be in the car with Pirro for at least Road America and Detroit.

Well with Biela gone and Pirro reported to be out of prototypes (at least) after Laguna, by the Speed crew during the race, what will next years line-up look like? I guess one of the major questions in that equation is, will Audi run both series next year?

McNish / Dindo
Luhr / Werner
Rocky / Premat
Fassler / ???

If Porsche does pull the full works proto team, will Audi poach some more of their drivers?

Christijan Albers will join Pirro in the #1 Audi at Laguna as an audition for the Sports Car program next year.

“We are faced with the task of rejuvenating our sportscar driving squad for the future,” explained Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. “Christijan has impressed us in the DTM and certainly has the potential to be successful in sportscars. He gets his first opportunity for this purpose at Laguna Seca.”

You never know who will show up at one of these things. Not saying, just saying.

You're in luck. Nishy will be there:

Team mates Dindo Capello (Italy), Tom Kristensen (Denmark) and Allan McNish (Scotland) will be at Laguna Seca to cheer on their team mates. The three Le Mans winners take part in the final stage of the "Audi Mileage Marathon", which runs from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. The finale of the American Le Mans Series is the penultimate stop of the spectacular efficiency drive across the U.S.
