I can personally vouch for Audi diesels, although I don't think is as fast as the Le Mans car! ;) Thanks for the info cesar.

It was from AUDI. I have saw it. it was really amazing. Besides the other cars, as the alfa romeo or the porsche. The audi was silent and faster. Really a great experience. Maybe the 908 will be so great as AUDI. Actually the last year 2006 the winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans was a Diesel powered too. It was from AUDI.

Oh, no, wait, Peugeot have a terrible reputation! ;) It'll be interesting to see how Jacques and Sebastian do. Jacques's been hyping it a fair bit this week, and while he is talented, I'm not so sure he'll be as competitive as he'd like.
