I read recently that audi are thinking of selling their current model r8's to private teams for next year one of these being Stefan Johannson's team who is currently seeking the estimated $5 million to run the cars next year but it made me think of a few questions.

firstly will they sell the cars at all??

if they do they would need an even better car to beat these ones which will still be very competitive in private teams hands.

or do they keep them for another year updating as they go in order to sell them for the next year when the will be that bit more worn out and slightly outdated?
and are they commited to the series long time or just the next 1 or 2 years??

I guess we will have to wait for the next board meeting at the end of the month to find out but it sure raises a few questions. I personally hope they sell the cars because to see some of the private teams up there would be really good to see especially if they were able to give the audi sport team a run for their money.
