      I would hope everyone knows by now that LeMans is coming up, right? This is the big race for Audi and the major event on the Audi Motorsport calender. Audi has dominated the race and has a new race car for this year, the R18 TDI. Rulebook changes meant that Audi had to switch to a 3.7 liter turbo-diesel motor vs. the large V10 they were running previously. The new motor is lighter, more fuel efficient, yet puts out 575 horsepower. Lemans is going to be quite the battleground, check out the video.

        Funny commercial.
        But the startweight of an LMP1 car is 900 kg (1980 lb). You just don't blow that forward with lungs alone...
