watched it till 4 this morning on motors TV really didnt expect the panoz to win its class i think that really surprised alot of people

diesel power!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting....

Was it faster around the track than the other cars or did fuel economy (I can't imagine it was paticularly frugal though!) allow longer track sessions?

What did it sound like?

Are turbo petrol cars allowed?

Nobody could get near it, mainly because they could not see for the smoke:D Saw a bloke looking suspiciously like Jason prowling round the garages reccying up parts.

It sat on pole, by 2 secs. So I guess it is quick.

Turbo petrol cars are allowed, turbo and non turbo depends on engine displacement.

Oh ya, zero smoke. The ACO does not allow any smoke, that was the biggest hurdle for Audi.

A fantastic acheivment, technically a nightmare as its never been done before.

I read the other day that the fuel system is pressurised by 1600 bar :eek:
