Audi was due to compete in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next year after signing up for the new cost-effective LMDh formula at the end of 2020.
It had already recruited DTM stars Rene Rast and Nico Muller to lead the development of the project, while a deal was also struck with long-time GT partner WRT to become its official factory team, although it was never announced.
