Interesting to say the least, but I don't believe the Audi hybrid will be any good against the TOYOTA, they clearly have much more experience in that field, unless of course Porsche is helping Audi on the hybrid thing, they have already raced with that configuration and they did quite well.
I believe it will do VERY well against the Toyota, but you do make a great point: Toyota's hybrid experience is MUCH greater than Audi's. Especially considering Audi has next to ZERO experience with a DIESEL Hybrid system (the Audi concpet cars the exception). In the real world, Toyota's experience dominates, but in racing, all bets are off. After all, ware talking about a manufacture that has NEVER won Le Mans... YET!Originally Posted by JavierNuvolari

The Le Mans hybrids and what Audi and Toyota sell as road going hybrids have little to nothing in common. I agree that Audi's Le Mans experience is more important.I believe it will do VERY well against the Toyota, but you do make a great point: Toyota's hybrid experience is MUCH greater than Audi's.

Hey Seņor Benman, long time no post! I know exactly what you mean, but after watching the testing of the Hybrid Audi and the lap time difference between the "regular" version, I think we're in for a treat for this years Le Mans.I believe it will do VERY well against the Toyota, but you do make a great point: Toyota's hybrid experience is MUCH greater than Audi's.

No kidding! My time has become much more limited lately. As for Le Mans, I'm looking forward to the treat!
