Initially the new F1 hybrid engine was gonna be a 4cyl turbo, which Audi also makes a lot of - made sense. Now with F1 F1 backing down due to Ferrari pressure to a 6 (fat lot of good it did Ferrari), maybe not... A lot of what you guys posted makes sense as far as logical reasons for Audi to join, but logic long ago deserted F1 ;-)
It's more likely Alonso wants a shorter deal with McLaren-Honda so he can bail to Mercedes when Ham-Ros divorce after another bitter feud season. I happen to like Audi where it's at, prototypes are cool and still seem more relevant to road cars, and Audi vs. Porsche vs. Toyota is a fascinating battle. Too bad the rest of the season outside LeMans isn't televised more widely...
