The FIA GT Series finale in Azerbaijan has been postponed from October to November, it has been confirmed.Series promoter the SRO Group has announced that the new date for the race on the streets of Baku, the country's capital, will be November 23/24 as predicted.The SRO's statement said that the event have been moved back from October 19/20 due to "unexpected circumstances".Race promoter Renaud Jeanfils explained to AUTOSPORT earlier this week that there had been delays constructing street circuit, which will be approximately 2.7 miles in length, as a result of the need to insert a number of chicanes along its length."Our plans are for a fast street circuit and it has been decided that we need some chicanes," he said. "We want to do everything in the safest possible way and for this we need more time."SRO is aiming for a 30-car entry in Azerbaijan. It plans to take 24 cars from FIA GTs and a number of invited entries, including title-winning teams from the Blancpain Endurance Series and the British GT Championship.

The new car features a V6 TDI engine which is said to be ‘all new’ and not an evolution of the existing 3.7 litre unit raced in both of the previous R18′s. The front mounted electric motor concept carries over from the 2013 car but the MGU itself is also new. In addition to the front motor the car features a 2014 F1 style ‘electronic turbo-compound’ layout. Energy storage is once again in the form of a flywheel though scaled up. Something that comes as a surprise as many did not believe that the technology could be scaled up adequately. It could be that Audi is not using the full 8MJ allowed, indeed it is suspected that the car is using a 4MJ hybrid system. As in the past, a Motor-Generator-Unit (MGU), during braking events, recovers kinetic energy at the front axle, which flows into a flywheel energy storage system. For the first time, the turbocharger of the internal combustion engine is linked to an electrical machine, which makes it possible to convert the thermal energy of the exhaust gas flow into electric energy – for instance when the boost pressure limit has been reached. This energy also flows into the flywheel energy storage system. When the car accelerates, the stored energy can either flow back to the MGU at the front axle or to the innovative electric turbocharger, depending on the operating strategy.
