Audi motorsport boss Wolfgang Ullrich says his team is ready for the challenﷺge that will b𒐪e provided by Porsche's new LMP1 programme next year

Porsche revealed its new car for the first time in a recent roll-out test at its Weissach facility and will ✱debut the car in the World Endurance Championship next year - joining Audi and Toyota in doing battle for the LMP1 crown.

Big things are expected from P🌸orsche's return to the premier category but Ullrich said his team was ready for the added challenge provided by its fellow member of the VAG family.

"There is competition between both marques," Ullrich told the ACO website. "It is the most difficult competition we've ev🔯er had to deal with. They are coming to win and we stay to win!"

Ullrich refused to be too drawn on what he was expecting from the Porsche when it makes its competitive debut, saying he didn't kno𝄹w enough de🍸tails about the machine.

However, the Audi chief said he would be surpr𒊎ised if the car seen on track wa꧑s the same as the car that will debut next year.

"I've only see🔯n pictures𝕴," he said. "I don't know enough about it to comment.

"I think that t🏅hey build a development car... I don't think they will run the car we've seen next ye﷽ar."
