Sorry, I'm just not buying the 'wait and see' line of thinking on this matter any more. We learnt
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING we needed to know about the differences in performance between petrol and diesel LMP1's at Le Mans this year. It was a complete mismatch. Audi blatantly sandbagging at the Test Day, and again in qualifying. They actually turned up the boost for the race itself, not down. God only knows what they could have achieved in qualifying had they actually bothered to try. The incredible amount of downforce they applied to their setup was easily compensated for by the massive amount of torque produced by the engine.

I find this announcement to be utterly scandalous. It's a very, very sad day for ACO rules racing and I feel incredibly sorry for Henri, Shorty, Jankowski/Bicks and all of our passionate, dedicated LMP1 teams who invest so much time, money and effort whilst providing us with such gripping entertainment.
I'm utterly, utterly gobsmacked by such blatant bias towards Audi and Peugeot. Monsieur Poissenot and his henchmen should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
