Again, it seems sad to see Audi give up Biela/Pirro to another team. Call me sentimental or old fashioned, but the appeal of a lifetime manufacturer/driver association really appeals.
But if Audi is cutting back on everything, why not increase their support of the DTM? So I guess Audi wants to save money? Or are they saving money for some other motorsport activity--say the rumored F1 team??? Why the sudden frugality? Tougher competition? Tougher economic times? They have already achieved their objective of making Audi a "sporty marque"??
