Just think about it: how bad do their chassis and aero have to be to explain such a gap in straightline speed?? We're talking about teams with years of experience like Pescarolo and Rebellion - yes quadrupling the number of team members and spending more on chassis development would help, but it would NEVER make up for stupid rules that give the diesels an unfair advantage. But yeah of course Audi and Peugeot are friends with the ACO and help them pay the bills so let's keep hoping for better (actual!) racing in 2013, 2014, 2015...

What kind of engines do you think are powering these pescarolos and rebellions and zyteks and amr-ones??
1. An ANCIENT decrepit Judd V8.
2. A Toyota super gt engine which wasnt even designed for Lemans style top speed(whichin my opinion is a devious plot by toyota to get the diesels slowed). Those sgt cars dont reach nearly the top end of the lmp cars. And the sgt petrols dont have nearly the amount of torque.
3. An outdated Zytek engine
(outdated Unfit engines and unfit Chassis) = Petrols
(multimillion dollar state of the art engine and multimillion dollar state of the art chassis) = Diesels
Thats why the diesels are crushing the competition.
