It was revealed last week that Audi’s customer racing division will be downsized next year, with the German manufacturer ending the production of R8 LMS GT3 and other racing models within its range. Audi’s works driver pool will also be disbanded, impacting as many as 14 drivers, while teams that are used to financial support from the brand will also be affected.
The decision about Audi’s impending departure was communicated to its 300 customers last Monday, following a board-level meeting.
