    Paul,
    Nice preview of the Peugeot 908 Diesel Race Car. Glad you posted it. Maybe a very formidable challenger to Audi's R10. It's closed cockpit vs. open for the Audi. Seems like a long tail section in proportion and the exhausts exit to the sides before the rear wheels. Disappointed that it didn't have twin chrome stacks!

    To my mind and others, Mercedes-Benz is the KING of Diesels. How long will it be before M-B joins the Diesel Race Car Specials, if only at Le Mans?

    Ciao...Paolo

    I do believe that Mercedes Benz has once again sworn off developing sports racers after their Mercedes Benz CLR flipped twice at LeMans in 1999. Maybe they would entertain building an engine for another team?

    Great vid of the Peugeot - thanks for sharing.

    It does seem very long, maybe because the engine area is so low. I like the narrow cockpit, not like the w-i-d-e GrandAM cars.

    Two of these will be running LMS this year. Should be interesting. And no not all like like the ugly GrandAM prototypes - not even in the same league.
