Why did Audi leave the WEC?
[Audi](/manufacturers/audi) ended its LMP1-Hybrid programme at the end of the 2016 WEC season, citing budget reallocation following the Volkswagen Group's 2015 diesel-emissions investigation.

Audi has not returned to top-class endurance racing since, although the marque had announced a Formula 1 entry for 2026 with Sauber.
