Audi, Porsche to Have Reduced Two-Car Efforts at 24H Le Mans

Next year, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will see both Porsche, and Audi, scale back, to two-car teams, as opposed to three, like both squads ran in 2015.  Defending champions from Le Mans, Nick Tandy, Nico Hulkenberg, and Earl Bamber, will not be back to defend their crown (there is a Formula 1 race, conflicting with Le Mans, for next year, which ruled Hulkenberg, out, a while ago).  Also, because of Audi's decision to scale back, this leaves drivers such as Rene Rast, Marco Bonanomi, and Filipe Albuquerque, without a ride, unless they go GT racing, with Audi in the R8 LMS in Blancpain Sprint or Blancpain Endurance Series competition.
