Endurance-info had an interview with Dr. Ullrich: http://www.endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=4546 It does not contain a lot of new information:
  • with current LMP1 rules, diesels need the maximum displacement (5500 cc) to be competitive at Le Mans; a V10 could be an option to decrease the weight, but Audi is sticking with their V12 choice
  • Audi has been contacted by others to run their V8 TFSI, but they have to come with a decent budget
  • apparantly Audi is influencing the calendar (I suppose of LMS) to avoid certain clashes! I think this implies that they want to do ALMS+LMS with their 9 confirmed Le Mans pilots
