Audi Sport has released details of their new motorsport strategy, confirming they will remain in the DTM for the immediate future.

The Ingolstadt-based manufacturer has confirmed that they will withdraw from the FIA World Endurance Championship at the end of this year, choosing to instead focus their new venture in Formula E.

Along with the with the electric single-seater category, the DTM will be their only full factory effort.

Audi won the teams’ and manufacturers’ titles in the DTM this year, with Team Abt’s Edoardo Mortara finishing as the runner-up in the drivers’ table just four points adrift BMW’s Marco Wittmann. Mike Rockenfeller was the last driver to win the title for Audi back in 2013.

2017 will mark the beginning of a new set of technical rules in the series, with the implementation of Class One, with the manufacturers expected to downsize from eight to six cars each, though the introduction of the new two-litre engine is delayed until 2019 for cost reasons.
