Penske could've run a program for Audi in the ALMS in 2010 or '11, but he and AOA wouldn't foot the bill. Then last year he was told that Audi didn't want to run the R18s in private hands, partly because of dieselgate, and if the factory team could barely cope with the car's temperamental hybrid system, how could a private team expect to run the cars without essentially becoming a factory team?
