Ullrich has clearly indicated that Audi will retire the R10. They will not want to race another year against Peugeot with a slower car. In ALMS Acura is coming with a new car.

According ACO for 2011 LMP1 "No fundamental chassis modifications will be brought in." Only the aerodynamics will be changed to reduce risk of flips. So they only need to make a new body work and install a smaller engine in 2011.
