It's possible, though Dindo had done well this year. Still, he's as old(if not older) than Pirro, who no longer driver for Audi regulary in anything, certinaly not the prototypes. However, in Pirro has proven to be fast in the Dryson Lola when he's driven it, so Dindo might have a future, even if it's only endurance races, and he was one of the few who got the handle on the R15 rightaway.

Also, could this play into Kristensen's DTM retirement? He's been wanting to run sportscar's fulltime, and he and McNish have formed quite a partnership, in part thanks to Capello. Could maybe Dindo be talking with Dr. Ullrich and discussing steping aside to contribute to another Audi Sport dynamic duo?

Also, for the Audi R18, since some drivers are still critical about the R15's front grip, maybe Wolfgang Appell should examine the Acura ARX-02's front and rear supension, as it's a zero-keel layout, and that grip couldn't just come from insane downforce numbers and the wide front tires-the suspension had to do it's bit, too.

I also doubt that Peugeot would be this close to testing their new car, because the ACO has yet to offically publish the 2011 rules. Granted, the rules for 2010 were 90% as proposed in July of last year, but both the Audi R18 and the Peugeot 909 right now more than likely only exhist in this form: CAD and concept drawings. We don't even know with certianty if the R18 or the 909 will be open or closed(though both will likely be closed from what is known--even Dr. Ullrich has hinted that the R18 may be a GTP car), or if they even be gas or diesel or have KERS, and we probably won't know about either until at least December.
