Yeah- hate coutries that focus their efforts on science, engineering and diplomacy when they could be off blowing the arms off of Iraqi children.
I'll agree about ...( 1 year ago by Homejengeneering)
I'll agree about Audi and Mercedes. Audi is the 3rd most successful marque only in le mans. They were successful in rallying too but for a very short bit of time. But NO ONE comes even slightly close to Porsche. To give you a hint, most wins all round for a marque goes to Porsche with 28000 wins and second to Ferrari with just 7000... Peugeot is nothing in front of Porsche and to be frank... THEY EVEN STOLE THE RACECAR NAME! :P

Indeed. Diesel engines at le mans have a huge advantage, clearly the organization wants them to dominate. You can't imagine how I enjoy the little Porsche RS Spyders LMP2 in ALMS owning the LMP1 Audis :)

the Dodge Viper GTS-R helped revive GT racing in the 1990s. Also won 24 hours of spa, le mans, daytona, zolder, N ürburgring, etc. a team from denmark, markland racing, bought a new Corvette Z06 and is racing it in the Le Mans Series' GT2 class.

privateers gave audi the only challenge in 2005 and 2006. they had a fraction of audi's budget.

VonVoltage, Not every serious race car. Some have been front-engined. As for the swiss spirit Lola, that car was utilizing a FSI Turbo-Charged V8 from the R8, not the A8.

Guess what guys? Audi won again. One of the Peugeot 908s had a gearbox problem and retired.
what i dont ...( 1 year ago by DARKSCOPE001)
what i dont understand is why is this car a full cockpit car and the race car is an open cockpit car. Is this just testing of a concept car? but yes audi did win but that is because the new tdi motors pull very hard and they are very fast out of the hole and down the long straights. on the narrower american circits the more nimble cars tend to do better, if audi had a more nimble car with tdi motors it would be unbeatable
The actual car was ...( 1 year ago by golfer0000001)
The actual car was a closed cockpit that went to lemans. But it doesn't matter the R10 is unbeatable just like the R8 was.

its all areodinamics a closed cockpit car can gain a couple tenths to a seconed on le mans alone. that just shows how good the r10 is. just thing of the audi r12
They designed it ...( 10 months ago by ZenithRacing)
They designed it closed cockpit because the le mans regs are changing to closed cockpit prototypes in a few years, but they didnt do it for the R10 because those regs hadent been released at the time
um i dont think ...( 7 months ago by elibarquero)
um i dont think they are going to make an r12 because it's too heavy of an engine. so the best tuning and power to weight ratio is better on the r10. it goes the same in formula 1 cars that's why most of the cars are v10's and v8's
the engines in f1 ...( 5 months ago by hobbang819)
the engines in f1 are v10's and v8's because of FIA mandates. I don't think the teams would have chosen to switch to a 2.4 liter v8 from 3.0 v10's and voluntarily freeze all engine development for the next few years.

I know you're post is 7 months old... but currently and for some time already it has looked like in future open cockpits will still be allowed. At least until 2010 or 2011.

..and not only 2010/2011 but beyond that. I think ACO is going to releave some guide lines what to expect beyond 2010 regs during this week, before Le Mans race...
