Audi R10 (diesel) wins Sebring!

Good grief! A diesel wins a major sports car race and makes history! What's next, Peterbilts at LeMans? Or Macks at Indy?

I think it's time to stick a huge feather in Herr Rudolf Diesel's cap...
If this doesn't prove the performance potential that modern diesels have, I don't know what else would? After this, you just gotta wonder what's next.

Speaking of Sebring: I spent several hours watching this race over the weekend. What difference from NASCAR. Not only to the cars have real headlights (and not decals), but you see all sorts of vehicles from Caddys to you name it. Now that I find very appealing.

Will diesels be banned like rotaries were?
(Why were they banned, exactly?)

I wish that they would add the Speed World Challenge Touring Cars into the Le Mans mix.
