To those of you that are partaking in the diesel conspiracy punch...show me the evidence that the diesel cars have a true speed advantage.
The R8s were spanking the Pescarolos in terms of outright pace at Le Mans in 2004 (I'm excluding '05 for obvious reasons even though they won regardless). The R10s then spanked the Pescarolos in terms of outright pace at Le Mans in 2006 and this surprises people? Not to mention, the Pescarolo is only a hybrid at this point and not even a true P1 car.
Are you honestly telling me that if a manufacturer came into the picture with a petrol car that was engineered on the scale of the R8 that it would not be competitive? I call B.S. on that.
