truth in 24

motorheads home alone today

documentary about audi and the diesel r10 racing the24hrs of lemans is on tsn right now. anybody seen it? so much win.

its on again on speed network friday at 6pm if you like car racing i thought this was really well done

i will check it out Friday

diesel Le mans car makes sense, Im guessing less pit stops for fuel?

it still blows me away that they are kicking ass with diesel engines. peugot has a new diesel lmp1 car.
audi has a ne r15tdi for this weekends 24hr of lemans.

VW's TDI Diesel cars ruled the 2009 Dakar with 1st and 2nd place finishes. Have you seen the 5.0L V10 TDI they put in the Touareg?

310Hp @ 4000 Rpm, 550 ft-lbs @ 2000 rpm, plasma coated cast iron cylinders with an aluminum crank case.

there is word of honda wanting to produce a high revving diesel engine for the type r cars

dad recorded it

who else would air a nascar practice instead of the 24hr le mans race

nascar gets in the way of my Le Mans.
This year i was lucky enough to be there for the monaco GP race in person.. 2 years time, i have made Le Mans my quest.
Audi is looking good. the r15 is a great ride, but the pugs really are just fast fast fast. Sad to see them loose one car, but when you have 24 hours, anything and everything can and will happen.
Go Audi

i bet peugot will break yet. the only thing less reliable than a german car is a french one.

that wreck for pescalaro was no joke. Testament to how well that pug is built.
Audi has it all to loose. TK is a stellar driver. You don't win 8 without being something special.
If it rains.. Audi has the upper hand.
