I believe the Audi UK team is effectively being run and funded by the British importer, very much like the Audi Japan entry at LM last year. And although most of the bodywork was nicked from the R8C, the chassis was different - it was originally intended for a W12 engine! They had to rework it to fit the Audi V8, which is why they never used the quick-change gearbox design.
