I don't think Audi is worried either. I meant that Dr. Ullrich has stated previously that Audi and Porsche wouldn't actively compete against each other in Le Mans or Grand-Am series since they're from the same auto group. I guess it's a win/win for VW though if either team brings home the trophy...

Guys, regulations are slowly changing out of the favor of diesels. By 2014 I believe a gas powered car could be competitive. Especially with drivers as Bernhard, Dumas, Lieb, and Luhr at the helm (though Bernhard is now an Audi factory driver instead of Porsche driver, so probably no chance of his excellent talent at the wheel).
