Audi Sport have allegedly signed Fillipe Nasr for the WEC/LM programs per Pruett's article at Racer.


Though Marshall didn't go into details, he does seem to suspect that there's still a schism when it comes to funding for regional programs between Audi AG/Audi Sport in Germany and Audi of America when it comes to IMSA programs. Such a thing basically killed Audi's ALMS program as a full time effort after 2008.


However, as pointed out, this applies to IMSA and not the WEC/LM24, which is still confirmed. Does make me wonder that if Audi Sport gets a customer team or two in IMSA if they'll do LM, though.
