Audis were running very low boost. Most do to the limited diesel fuel the team had for those cars, to keep fuel milage up. Special diesel fuel had to be imported from Europe.

Just cant run down to the local truck stop and get more diesel for these cars.

IMHO diesel fuels need to be standardized for any diesel race cars to get. or refinery to make.

Sunoco makes most of the race fuels ( petrol) in N American race cars. Shell makes for europe and elswere. Very close in formulation between Sunoco and Shell. Not much tuning difference when cars cross the atlantic.

Diesel fuel should be the same. Forget the Bio-fuels until they also can be standardized.
