More of the same, from the Auto Hebdo interview. Here

Hmm, wonder if we will see Timo and Romain in an R-15 next year? Here

Seems that Timo and Romain are still on Audi's list of possible pilots for '10. Also seems that Peugeot are still protesting about the R-15! Which according to the good Dr. Ullrich, will keep them from defending at Sebring. Here

Up until this point I assumed Audi would not be at Sebring due to their own choice. I find it extremely frustrating they are being told no because Peugrot won't allow them. The ALMS should stand up to the ACO as it is us fans who lose out. |

Unfortunately it would not make a difference if IMSA/ALMS allowed them to run, as they would probably not do it unless it counted towards the 5 Le Mans style races which qualifies them for the LMIC. So if the ACO says no, they/we are pretty much scr--ed because of that fact!

^Good point! Only if they were running the full season would they bother and get the exemption from IMSA. | |

Oh Audi... first you call out the big boys to come compete against you in lmp1. Acura came and you left. Then you said you don't win Le Man's without running the 12 hours of Sebring. Well you built a new car that was un-tested even with the new regs coming in 2 years. Now your drivers are losing their super human driving skills as evident in Petite with a spin on a pace lap. Audi please end the suffering and just race a full season to prove the " truth in technology"

Hmm, Peugeot veto the R-15 (interim) from running at Sebring, although it seems there may be an outside chance of the R-15+ being there. Quote: |
"The roll-out of the 2010-spec Le Mans vehicle bearing the internal designation "R15 plus" is scheduled for the end of February/beginning of March."

I like the redesign on the R-15+. It still reminds me of a Giant Manta Ray! Here
