AU N EGL should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridAU N EGL should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Isn't the diesel fuel that the R10 runs and possiblly the new Pegeut will run much different then the diesel fuel that cars and trucks run in Europe??

Not all diesel fuels are the same. Same as race fuel, not the same as normal fuel.

European diesel fuel is much cleaner the diesel fuel on the western side of the Atlantic.

Plus when ever the Audi R10 races in the states they Shell or Audie must bring the diesel fuel from europe. The states does not have that specialty blend.

Maybe the FIA and ACO should say the diesel fuel must be the same grade as what cars and trucks use. and the normal fuel must also be the same grade as the high octane normal fuels.
