What a mightily impressive example of German engineering, lol, it’s a great shame then that Peugeot smashed them out of the park at Le Mans!

We are all hoping after today that we do get a supercharged falcon.

5 wins in a row, what against backyard private hobby teams v’s a full unlimited budget factory team, real fair and a very hollow victory for mine!

How did they go this year?

Cheers

Just came across this site searching for the R15.
Gav, to answer your question: the V12TDI engine shown is the engine of the R10. The R15 is a completely new car with a V10TDI.
BTW the R15 just won Sebring

Gav, there was a caption under each pic but they have strangely disappeared, sorry about that.

I love it… Great for someone to show that Diesel can be Hi-Po too.

Am i missing something here? Because the opening paragraph states “V10 TDI engine producing more than 447kW”, yet the photograph of the engine bay clearly shows a “V12 TDI” label on the engine? Hmmm….

Diesel – the way to go.
Will diesel engines ever find their way into F1 cars. Somehow I doubt it as diesel is about economy and not stopping to fuel so often. F1 currently enforces fueling stops.
