Sorry but in http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...portscars-119/ there is no mention whatsoever of a R15++. It just says "a version of the R15+".

I find it hard to believe that Audi will make yet another version of the R15 for only 1 race. Wider front tyres would mean that they have do redo the front aero and suspension geometry...

So I think Audi will just run the existing R15+ with whatever extra restrictions the ACO imposes (extra weight, smaller restrictor)...
