Not to mention a win at Le Mans in 2005 against the hybrid Pescarolos.
Audi could have easily engineered the R10 around the petrol FSI bi-turbo and been just as fast. I'm with you on this one JAG.
The ACO have it right. Instead of doing performance adjustments at the drop of a hat (ahem, IMSA/ALMS), they're taking a measured stance. The diesel's fuel capacity was the only real choice given the available petrol P1 data in terms of pace.
