WEC: Di Grassi won't replace program

Audi factory driver Lucas di Grassi is not seeking a second program alongside his Formula E campaign following his employer's World Endurance Championship pullout.
The Brazilian, who has competed in FE with Audi Sport Team Abt alongside his WEC commitments since the end of 2014, explained that his focus would be on the electric series as Audi gears up for a full-factory entry in season four in 2017/18.
"I want to do FE as my main goal and don't want to do another championship in parallel," he said.
