TheNeedForZ Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I caught something on the TV just when the race ends. It said something about record win for the diesel car....Did the Audi diesel actually win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennysgreen280zt Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Its already been done! I seriously cant find any info on it with the exeption of the same news story over and over again. It was LD28 with a turbo hung on the side. Ran on recycled fryer oil otherwise known as bio-diesel. Im sure someone else can have better luck with google.... http://www.americanlemans.com/News/Article.aspx?ID=1872 Time for a turbo diesel Z!!

Sparky Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 http://www.americanlemans.com/News/Article.aspx?ID=1872 The Audi won by three laps. I watched the afternoon session and as amazed at how smooth and quiet that car seemed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 The R10s are actually so quiet, the drivers were having a hard time listening for the motor to change gears during testing. Its not like the R8's were all that loud either. I remember working right next to them and you could barely hear one go by, especially when a nearby Porsche GT3 RSR was in full effect. It was a big day for motorsports, whether the diesel thing has been done before or not. You are going to see more and more attempts at diesel racing cars, which translates itself into more high performance diesels for the consumer market. I want to see the cars without the particulate filters in the exhaust, so they can "pour the coal!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
