Default Audi in CART?

There was a mention in this week's AutoWeek that after the Brands Hatch race, Chris Pook went to talk talk to several manufacturers about future involvement in the series. They specifically mentioned Audi and Mercedes. Just imagine an RS6 pace car. :-)

Autoweek started rumours about Audi and Arrows F1 awhile back, FWIW.

Default It would be great. I would actually be interested in cart again. But as AUJ mentions

there were other rumors about F1 probably a year ago also. Nothing ever came of it.

I would love to follow something besides WRC and Speed GT.

Default Not CART, but...

Interesting article in C&amp;D regarding Bentley's entry into Le Mans. They will be using Audi engines in their redesined cars. Guess that VW/Bentley merger may have some interesting bi-products.

Time to pass the torch; intra company that is.

Bentley has been using Audi engines for the past 2-3 years in LeMans..

WRC...that's all I want. I doubt they will though since the fan regulation remains largely the same.
