1, On the track
2, In the steward's box
3, In Paris

I think any "actual" car guy would drool at the sight of this, thats just my opinion.
Ricardo-Judd v10 diesel leMans engine
Reminds me of this engine that was in the news earlier this year. Diesel race engines are, in my opinion, going to become much more prevalent in coming years. There is some new technology that is becoming available that will make aluminum block/heads a viable possibility. Obviously because both the Audi and the Ricardo-Judd diesel are aluminum.
Check out this Toyota D-4D diesel concept:
Toyota Diesel
Diesel V12, 650hp and 1100Nm! .
Here's a post I made on another forum:
Well, first of all they may do diesel just for the publicity. I mean they've won Le Mans so many times it's not like they really need to win it any more to prove a point. Audi can now advertise with this car and say "Look, we built a diesel to win Le Mans, the first ever, and you can bet our production diesels are good too." Not to mention the fuel economy and the GT40 tactic: loads of torque so the engine doesn't need to rev high, saving the engine, transmission, etc...
Plus, of course the fuel economy. Excellent move by Audi for this one! I think it could only be Audi to do something like this though because they're the only ones who can afford the risk. Everyone else hasn't even caught up to the R8.
It'll be even more interesting to see if a privateer R8 enters Le Mans and goes against the R10!

I hear this thing is so quiet that at speed, the driver cant even hear the engine. Kinda sad tho, I really like the sound of a Judd V-10 ripping down the straight, where as this new diesel one is gonna be fairly quiet. Also heres a video of the car in it's official unvieling (scroll down to the bottom of the page, left side).
