Default no because they realize its the Joest team that wins no matter what car they have...

If you look back they pretty much win no matter what...when you look at what happened to the other Audi entries, you realize how incredible the Joest team IS.

Consider that the "Bentley" is a later generation closed roof R8 and see how they do compared to the Joest guys.

Default I heard they got extra downforce using wing MOUNTS without any drag penalty

Man, is it still considered racing?

Default its the most complicated sport in the world...

and (as you know) endurance racing requires such an incredible amount of work by so many people...well some guys just have it totally wired. Joest will win LeMans the next year after Audi pulls out with whatever car they have (maybe back to Porsche since they'll be "allowed" back in when Audi departs).

Cause the advertising appeal will start to shrink....it's boring to win every race.
