Audi was"ready to go" testing with its LMDh car when the decision was made to scrap its high-profile return to the top echelon of sportscar racing, key people working at the German manufacturer have revealed.Audi was due to compete in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA SportsCar Championship next year after signing up for the new cost-effective LMDh formula at the end of 2020.
