I was browsing around 'out there' and came across a thread in the gallery section that had this pic. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Audis, which translated into a soft spot in my wallet when I owned a few back in the early 1990s. But I would love to see this out on the track next year.

Looks like it will be a GT3 entry. Any insight Pete?

In ALMS, Audi's house money is in P1. They will not support anything else right now (that is also why you don't see a GT2 Lambo here either.)
Also, that rear wing is way too large for ALMS/ACO/FIA rules.

Honda is missing the boat here in the US;more money and resouces should be dedicated to the ALMS
They should let Bernie,Max and the rest of the FIA suck air
I want to see a Honda/Acura in the GT classes
