Default Where is audi in WRC?
I think audi needs to get involved in the WRC. I would love to see an A4 cutting up all those focuses and peugeots. Im thinking about writing a letter, whos with me?

Default they are only allowed to be in a certain amount of series...
WRC is one they chose not to be in...
FIA rules.
Audi is in ALMS, LM, I believe there is one more... can't remember though. I think you are allowed 3 series.

IIRC, Audi used to run in rally and they tore up the competition.

Do a search back and you will find out why Audi pulled out of rally

Default They are, its called Skoda
The car they are using is based on the Passat/A4 platform (I think).

Default Used to be, but all the rule changes turned Audi away.
Especially the 300hp max rule.

Maybe for Audi it's a "been there done that" thing. time to move to F1.

Liam
