They made auto racing history with a diesel powered car winning a major race for the first time ever.

Interesting. I wonder, did the diesel give better fuel economy resulting in less pit stops in the 12 hours?

I was just watching it...

I read in a magazine about the RS10 and how it was heavier than the RS8 because they had to give it a beefier transmission and such.

It's pretty impressive to say the least, and maybe diesels will get some respect now.

i was watchin some of it on speed channel today and they were talking about how it was supposed to get better mileage, but it was boring so i switched the channel and never found out if it actually did

Apparently the RS10 made 12 stops and the 2nd place car made 18 stops.

I hope this is part of an effort to squash the hybrid myth. Good for Audi.
