Im watching the 12 Hours of Sebring and Audi is doing very well their new Diesel powered race car. So what's the advantage of running a Diesel race engine? Why would you want to?

Torque... torque and more torque!!!
The car will squirt out of the corners quicker, especially the Audi's with their well balanced aero/suspension package. I would love to see how well it runs on biodiesel. Imagine it smelling like french fries or peanuts as it went by!!! On Another Note: My son's godfather (Andy Pilgrim) finished second in the Speed GT World Challenge yesterday for Team Cadillac. Hoo Yea! Not bad for a big ol' heavy american sedan! Max the Axe finished 15th after banging up the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) |
