Now we know why there were the Muller recruitment rumors--he'd be replacing someone. I'd have thought that it was Tom, because of his age (he's a couple of years older than Allan), and he'll probably soon will be showing signs of the effects of the DTM accident from '07. There were also some rumors of TK heading to Porsche.
Instead, Allan has elected to retire from driving prototypes for Audi, aside from possibly testing. There were rumors of a driver shake up at Audi due to one of their older drivers retiring or scaling back, didn't expect it to be Allan, though. But he has a young family, and he's probably accomplished everything that he ever wanted to achieve in sportscar racing.
LM grid won't be the same without Allan, even if he's in the TV booth--he's got a real talent for that--or if he's there with Audi, but not slated to race.
