Porsche seems to be speculating for more rule changes in 2008 to make petrol and diesel truely equivalent.

When Murphy speculated – based on things heard around the paddock, of course – that Porsche would be ready to field a LMP1 “when the rules turned favorable for gasoline-power in that class,” he got the comment back “not before 2008,” but not a denial. Now with the preliminary announcement of 2007 rules from the ACO, it’s pretty clear what that meant. Especially when the Bear considers other things being said around the sport. The diesel “advantage” will continue through 2007 – how could it not, with Peugeot entering? Come 2008, there will be that “favorable turn” that Porsche is waiting for. Remember when the ACO said earlier this year that they wanted LMP1 to become a place for manufacturers?
