There's a big difference. STR and AmD are S2000 cars that were bought in from elsewhere. I don't think Rob Austin has bothered to chase up any support from Audi, especially as the car isn't as the factory intended anyway, with it's RWD layout.
Why wouldn't Gilham go up to VW with his project and try to get some help? Dan Welch did the same with Proton, who said they were supportive, but would only keep an eye on things with regard to maybe some more serious support in the future, if things turned out alright.
