Audi testing at Abu Dhabi. EDIT: And, despite the blurry picture, it seems that they are running the car with the Toyota-esque rear wing extensions. |

Cool to see! They look like exactly like the Toyota's. It's hard to tell on the right side, but you can definitely see the double endplate on the left.

That picture makes it a bit easier to see the double wing.

Dagys is saying 2 E-Trons for Sebring with one 2013 spec. https://twitter.com/johndagys/status/291723997643694081

Dagys said that they are just running Sebring. Not a full ALMS season.

Yeah, I wouldn't think they would stay when they have committed to the WEC. There's no reason to run in the ALMS all year.

Yes he did. That is why there are small mistakes (e.g., adjustment of wing will be done on inner end plate not on outer).

It seems to me that it has recieved a lot of small updates. That, or the black colour is cheating me.

The R18 doesn't look a ton different compared to last year's car aside from the endplates. The nose looks much the same as the sprint nose does, and I wonder if Audi and even Toyota, if they're running the endplate extensions at LM, if they're gonna run their sprint bodywork there with a few tweaks, or they'll build a version of the 2012 LM package around the endplates and their associated changes.
