Audi will terminate its World Endurance commitment at
the end of the 2016 season. Instead Audi is taking
up a factory-backedcommitment in the all-electric
Formula E racing series. No final decision has yet been
made concerning a future involvement in the FIA World
Rallycross Championship (World RX). In the current
2016 season, DTM factory driver Mattias Ekström in his
Audi S1 EKS RX quattro clinched the World Championship
title early, competing against numerous factory teams.
Up to now, Audi’s involvement has been limited
to supporting the private EKS team. The brand
is currently evaluating a possible extension of
the commitment, the exciting topic of electrification
being on the agenda in rallycross racing as well.
