What possible advantage would there be to Audi to go to IndyCar? Grand Am I can see...
I can't see it happening as Audi's customers are not into that irl scene at all and there is no real benefit for Audi.

I got some insight a few years ago into VW/Audi's methodology in regards to motorsports programs. They look at everything and do their math and in my opinion are one of the more thorough in their approach to motor racing and what they get out of it than many other manufacturers. Good Luck irl.
