Dr Diesel vindicated
After well over one hundred years the diesel engine reaches the front rank of motor racing. Multiple-winners Audi will compete in 2006 in the Le Mans 24 Hours at the circuit de la Sarthe with a diesel-engined contender, which must start the race as favourite. All credit to the ACO organisers for framing the rules to permit such experimentation. Much of racing has lost its glitter due to overly-restrictive rules stifling the creativity of the engineers. The Telegraph has the story.
