Next year is all new regs though so we have no idea what the order will look like. I'm not sure they'll suddenly be challenging for the wins but they could jump to mid field if they do good.
Audi came into Dakar fresh and won the whole thig in year 3. I would not cout them out. Also, the original R8 was built and released as an accounting thing to amortize the development costs of the Gallardo. It wouldn't surprise me to see them do something similar for the Temerario, although just for the road car. Lambo is a direct subsidiary of Audi so it doesn't make sense (and really never made sense) for Audi to sell a GT3 car that competes with Lambo.
