With Audi only showing up at Sebring, is there still going to be a corral?

Did find this comment online about the R8....
"LMS
Audi announced the production of an R8 LMS racing car, designed for the FIA GT3 European Championship and various national racing series. Known within Audi Sport as the 'R16', the R8 LMS features a 500 hp (370 kW/510 PS) V10 engine. Because the GT3 regulations prohibit the use of four-wheel drive the R8 LMS comes with the typical rear-wheel drive setup. The power is transmitted via a newly developed 6-speed sequential sports gearbox.[21]
Sales of GT3 model would begin in autumn 2009.[22]"
