Audi R10 TDI takes second place in Euro LeMans

I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty exciting to start seeing a shift in racing technology, as we all know how those optimizations drip down to consumber vehicles. Check out my quicky short post on the subject: http://gas2.org/2008/04/08/audi-tdi-...ropean-lemans/

Well...I was hoping for nothing less than 1st place since the R10 TDI won the 24 hours of Le Mans for the last 2 years.

Go Audi / VW diesel!
I've got to give them mad props, even with more and more restrictive rules (on diesels) each season they still do very very well.
I'd like to try some Shell GTL (their fuel) just 4 the heck of it.
I saw the car at SEMA last year, sure did look smaller in real life.
I'd love to see it run one day.

Bravo as well. I've been following this car the last couple years. Excellent performance/efficiency at Sebring and Le Mans over the course.
