Audi and Porsche cooperating closely on LMDH: https://m.motorsport-magazin.com/24h...ercar-daytona/

Main points:

• Audi's new head of motorsports says that the two companies are coordinating their LMDH projects very closely. He and Fritz Ensinger at Porsche are working to identify areas in which there can be a synergy between the two brands.

• Ensinger hopes that more manufactures (e.g. Ferrari and BMW) will join.

• Officially, there has been no decisions on a chassis supplier.

• Audi would prefer to use their DTM I4 turbo engine (mislabeled as a V6 in the article), but Porsche think an NA V8 would be better, as there are some vibration issues with the I4. Audi has solved those for the sprint races in DTM, but in endurance racing it might be another story. It seems likely that both brands will use the same engine.

• Despite cooperating in the development process, both manufactures will race each other hard on track.
