BMW Replacing Audi as Official Car Supplier for 24 Hours of Le Mans
Just figured out how the 103 extra M4 gts are going to be used!
Probably will be using M2s and M4s... http://www.dailysportscar.com/2017/0...r-le-mans.html Quote:

This is good news. Audi has done a good job over the past few years to market themselves in movies, etc. glad to see bmw taking notes.

Good for BMW. But, I am wondering if Audi is cutting down on expenses?

In any case, I'm glad to see BMW picking up the torch. BMW Motorsport needs a shot in the arm. The M6 GT3 and GTLM haven't exactly been lighting the world on fire.

To be fair to Audi, they've earned themselves the right to market the hell out of their Le Mans presence through their significant input, expense, success and support of the series for a decade and a half, and with the R8 LMS GT3 still giving strong showings in other GT and endurance series' Audi sport will still have a strong presence at race tracks.

They actually shift that budget to the Formel E series.

There have been plenty of articles published on motorsports websites citing diesel gate as the main driving factor behind their exit.
