Audi diesel wins Sebring

Anyone see the 12 hours of Sebring? The diesel Audi driven by Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Rinaldo Capello won by miles, despite starting from the pit lane. It qualified on pole too. Not only is it faster than anything else, but only needs half the pit stops. It's going to clean up at Le Mans this year, Kristensen is going to win yet again for the 8th time and 7th in a row, I can see it!

 

It's wrong, just doesn't sound like a proper Le Mans car. Couple of years and they'll all be bloody diesels...:thumbdown:

 

Aston got beaten by the Corvettes despite having the faster car in GT1, and the new Porsches lost out in LMP2. They're going to be kicking arse at Le Mans though once they've got their reliability problems sorted.

Go Corvette :D

 

Are porsche competing in this race in the prototype series, I saw a race where they brought in a brand new car and totally kicked ass.

 

Yeah, in LMP2. They are the lighter prototypes with less power than the top LMP1 class that the Audis are in. They were fast but broke. Radical are competing in that class at Le Mans too, that should be a laugh.

 

Those Audis are strange. You can't hear them at all. They have variable geometry turbos too aparently which they're allowed as they are diesels.
