I wasn’t aware of the finer points of the rules so thanks for pointing it out Mark. Rules are rules and any unfair advantage should be considered whenever imparting praise.
But did I understand Pescarolo’s gripe correctly? It seems to me that Pescarolo is not so much complaining that the rules favour a lesser car, but that the governing body is ignoring evidence of a natural advantage in a diesel engine. I know it’s a subtle difference but if that’s the case then purely from an engineering perspective (forgetting the injustices for a moment) the achievements of Audi are all the more impressive. Who would have thought even one year ago that petrol powered teams would be crying foul on the basis that a diesel engine is a superior race engine.
Lucas,
I'm always happy to see that clip again too
