A Report today said that Volkswagon ag will push Audi out of WEC & DTM and into F-1 in 2016. And the Kicker is Fernando Alonso! He got out of his Ferrari Contract and is actually the Odd Man out of a Seat. He is negotiating for only a One Year Contract with McLaren which means Ron Dennis, who never got along with Alonso can play Hardball in Salary. But in the background and why he wanted out of Contract with Ferrari to drive Audi in 2016.

This leaves Porsche as the Key Sportscar of the Brand going 2016 & beyond

Not an Alonso fan. I admire his skills, but am a bigger fan of Massa and Nico R.

Its least Audi can do, since Porsche withdrew from Sports Car racing so Audi could win a few LeMans…

DEAD RUMOR. Audi denies the rumor it's planning to drop real car racing in favor of F1, and says this is an old rumor, oft revived. For your convenience, they say it both in English and German.
