Then Audi screwed that all up
Gregg ran the 934 in TransAm because IMSA did not want the 934. Gregg simultaneously ran the BMW CSL program in IMSA. Jo Hoppen was able to convince IMSA that the 934 would fit nicely into their program, which happened in 1977. TA was left in the dust.

Don't speak ill of Audi, that Quattro had a sound for the ages.
