Despite the end of its commitments in the LMP1 category, Audi Sport will continue to have a presence in the FIA World Endurance Championship for 2017, supplying the official course cars.

DSC understands that Audi had a contract to supply the course vehicles until the end of 2017 already in place before the decision to terminate its LMP programme was taken. This means that Audi vehicles will be present at every WEC round bar the Le Mans 24 Hours, where BMW will take the reigns.
