Here's an idea, have you noticed that Volkswagen sponsors Torro Rosso this year?

Could they offer finanical aid? And by that I mean AUDI finally making its step up into formula one?

Like I've said before, I'd rather see a privateer entry take over Toro Rosso than another manufacturer unless it was Ford/Cosworth.

Audi in Formula 1 would be awesome. I think they would do well, but they are too much into their R10 program. Heck if they join that might mean we will see our first diesel F1 car, I hope we dont though. But who knows? VW could enter in formula 1 as Audi, Lamborghini, or even Bugatti just like Ford did with Jaguar 7 years ago.

I would hope for Lamborghini as Senna had nothing but praise for the engine that he tested in the MP4-8 chassis. The complete article in in the Feb '08 issue of F1 Racing magazine.

I've read somewhere that a team owner from the Champ Car World Series is looking at buying Super Aguri because he didnt want to merge into the IRL with the other Champ Cars teams. If i find the article I'll send you the link.
