'On a slight side note. Does anybody know why Audi have never been rumoured with F1? After all; they've had so much success in the past decade with Touring and Le Mans.'
They have in a way, VW have been linked with a move to F1 a couple of times and they both come under the VAG group banner. Seems VAG allocate each marque with a different area of motor racing, ie Audi do sportscars, Seat do touring cars, Skoda do rallying and VW have Dakar and engine supply to F3.
I would imagine it wont be long until VAG/VW are linked with a move to F1 again, with the constant cost cutting measures being introduced and the raft of new independant teams just waiting for a big manufacurer take over.
