Audi moving away from Diesel???

[mike(liverpool boys)]

Did I hear correctly last night during quali that Audi are going to try something else next year as "diesel has been done now" and "there is nothing more to do on that front".

Does this mean a LMP1 hybrid or a move into the GT's with the R8???

Next year could be interesting

Mike, you heard correctly they said that next year they would have something totally revolutionary and new

[John G]

Yesi I definately heard that too

Bye the way, good to join up with CA again, sorry I use it as a bit of a convenience at this time of year, its an important part of my 'virtual' Le Mans weeekend, which started on Wednesday

Hope you all enjoy

They stated on eurosport before that it would be some sort of all wheel drive, but to keep within the ACO, regs that it would be selective, 2 wheels powered by the engine and the other two some form of eco power.

Was that the thing they were talking about that was similar to K.E.R.S in F1???

Store a percentage of energy up then use it to drive the front wheels for a burst of power out of corners.

Surely they'll be made go back to petrol power if thats the case. Imagine the current diesel burners with even more kick out of corners 

Id love to see everyone back on a level (ish) playing field and those Astons in with a shout of the podium
