regardless of the displacement rules, the R10 success is due to fact that it doesn't have to come into the pits as often as its petrol driven rivals.
In endurance racing its the number of laps you clock in rather than position that matters. So that means the Diesels can stay out longer and put in more laps than the thirsty petrols.
Furthermore its predecessor the R8 was already a petrol driven LeMans dominator.

that may be true, but its still a freaking brilliant engine!

what can i say? German engineering is unmatched.

The whole mystery of Audi R10 TDI success is ruthlessly simple.Turbocharged or supercharged petrol engines are only allowed to have a maximum displacement of 4000cc.
Diesels are allowed to have 5500cc.
And that's all to be said here. If diesels are soooo good, let's race the R10 TDI limited to 4000cc with its petrol rivals and we'll soon reveal the true "TDI Power" :-]
Or TDI Weakass :-]

Much the same? What are you smoking man?

What I guess I'm trying to say is that the design solutions on LMP cars is now about as close to the F1 solutions to the same problems as the rulebooks will allow.
desweller(October 11, 2008 at 8:00 pm)
Not exactly F1 - they are built for different purposes, to a different rule-book, but much of the thinking is the same.
It all depends on how detailed you want to be in your analysis. For instance, the engine is not F1 legal, the bodywork is not F1 legal, the weight is much too high.
However they both use similar suspension arragements, they are both mid-engined RWD layout and open-cockpit, make use of similar aerodynamic solutions at the front and rear of the car etc.
