from a race official, Eric Prill (not me):

.......have received this message from Rod Bymaster, Manager, Audi Sport North America:

"After winning the Manufacturer and Driver Championships in 2003 and the Manufacturer Championship in the 2004 Speed World Challenge GT Series with our Audi RS 6 race cars, 2005 is a year for us to look to the future. The RS 6 was a limited edition car in North America and no longer sold here. We are therefore in the process of evaluating a new entry for the Speed World Challenge Series based on an upcoming production car."

We will likely hear more about Audi's future World Challenge plans as we get into the 2005 season.

Maybe they will actually do something in Touring? That would be a nice surprise.

Darn, I thought it was because he enjoyed driving my Spec Miata so much. :-)

those S4 wheels and tires? I just wanted to give you the first hack at em'. I'm going to be putting them in AW and AZ classifieds shortly. Kinda bummed...no more DE's this year :-(

audi won't be able to keep up w/o doubling stock output like they did with the old b5s

RS4 with basically the same motor as RS6 should be one hot puppy. Watch SCCA slap it with "rewards weight" before it ever turns a wheel.

More support for a certain WC Touring team would be a good thing. Not sure if it will happen though...
