I could do without it.
But then, I could do without Audi R8's in general. As I've said on other boards. I do not like Audis in racing. I do not like the Audi R8 in ALMS. I would take great pleasure in imprecisely disassembling every single Audi R8 in existence with a Sawzall.

I love the R8's They have forced the compitition to better their game, the series would be boring without them, if it even still existed.

Actually, Audi has forced factories OUT of LMP competition, because the money it would take to dethrone Audi in a short enough time to be relevant to affecting sales is comparable to what it costs to field a decent F1 team; ergo Jaguar, Toyota, Mercedes, and BMW staying put in F1 and not even considering continuing their LMP programs.
What you have in LMP competition now is a bunch of privateer teams coming out of the big chassis shops and boutique auto manufacturers (Lola, Riley & Scott, Dallara, Dome, Panoz, Lister) getting crushed by one over funded factory effort with supporting non-works teams.
Sorry, but the last time we had that, we called it Can-Am. In fact, it was Audi-Porsche stomping on all of the privateer chassis shop teams like Lola, Shadow, and McLaren with their Porsche 917-30.
I cannot stand the Audis and I heartily dislike what they've done to LMP racing. The factories that are becoming interested in competing are being forced to exploit rulebook loopholes (the Maserati effort in the defunct GTP category) or the companies are going to the GTS category where close competition and showroom similarity are stronger selling points.
I'm glad that the Dyson Lolas with their Judd power are such a threat to the Auto Union panzers. Fuck Audi and the Porsche coattails they rode in on.
Shit, they don't even have a RWD sports car. What's the point of racing if you don't sell what you race?
Oh yeah, let your "sports sedan" get it's silver ass kicked by Corvettes and BMW M3's in SWC.
