They already have a privateer A4 running in Sweden to ETCC spec but it isn't homologated - I wonder if they did enter the BTCC if they'd simply use an ETCC spec car?
Considering Audi Sport built the Swedish ones, I'm pretty sure the A4 has been well researched and designed. B/c it's officially just a private entry, it doesn't look as bad if it does terrible. OTOH, during all this time, Audi can track and develop the car further from behind the scene!

However, when is the A4 due to be replaced? It seems like a waste to develop a A4 bodystyle that will be soon superseded by a newer one?
