With the official test weekend for Le Mans usually in April or May, plus of course any additional testing that Audi might require him to take part in it should be noted April and May are the busiest V8 months for races with Hamilton, Ipswich and Winton in that period.

Not to mention that Audi have an already strong driver line up that will have raced the car and done extensive testing in the run up to LM. Plus Whincup will only get jealous.
Hmm.. I see no downsides at all

AA reckons its a done deal.. making it sound like the B12 is an audition..
