BREAKING: Audi LMDh Program Paused
Audi puts LMDh program on hold amid rumors of a shift of resources to Formula 1…
Audi’s planned LMDh effort has been paused in the wake of the German manufacturer’s likely entry into Formula 1.
An Audi spokesperson has confirmed to Sportscar365 that it has “stopped the program for the next 2-3 months” although has failed to acknowledge the reasons behind the halting of development.
It comes after an initial chassis allocation by Multimatic, which was set to partner with Audi alongside Porsche’s LMDh car that has already begun on-track testing.
Multiple industry sources have indicated to Sportscar365 that Audi’s LMDh program, which was set to feature a factory supported effort with Team WRT in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the allocation of customer cars in both WEC and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, has been called off entirely.
Maybe Ford will take up the Audi slack with Multimatic, they already build the Mustang GT4 and the Ford GT, as well as the upcoming Mustang GT3 if I remember correctly.
