Fantastic news.

So what does this mean with regard to Audi? Move or get out of the way?

Would be kinda cool if they were to play in the same sandbox.

ROADTRIP!!!

Interesting point about Audi ... will Porsche take over from Audi, or will they run a 918 or R8 based platform ... or even a 991 based car in GT???

will it be a hybrid?

long time to wait!

LMP's are full blown prototypes.
No road based platforms will suffice.

Thank you Ferdinand Piech! Maybe F1 is next once the new engine rules are set.

Eh, F1 is a waste unless strictly to be an engine supplier.
