This means there will probably be no competition in the WEC this year and Audi will walk it

Yeah, with Audi being the only manufacturer contesting the full season, the WEC might turn out to be something of a joke, which in turn might also deter Toyota and Porsche from pursuing their own current/future LMP1 programmes. Awful news for sportscar racing which, for many years, has been plagued with the reluctance of manufacturers to commit.

I wonder if other endurance teams like ORECA will perhaps still be able to enter old-spec 908s?

I hope it'll be better than 2011. Last year was dreadful...

Saw a tweet from Alexander Sims earlier, saying he was giggling as he took Eau Rouge flat on his second attempt. Well...

"The session was stopped early after Alexander Sims crashed the Status Lola Coupe at the top of Eau Rouge. The former McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award winner shunted heavily but emerged from the significantly damaged machine unscathed"
