    If Audi implement the race technology on their road cars , the diesel market is gonna change forever.

    Does the low noise of the Audi R10 TDI affect the driving style at Le Mans?

    Frank Biela: "The Audi R10 TDI is very, very quiet. For me it means that under braking from top speed – for instance on the Hunaudières straight – you’ve got to be even more concentrated than before. Until now, you could change down the gears according to the noise of the engine, but now something is missing. Now I’ve got to change down according to my feeling or I’ve got to focus on the rev counter on the steering wheel display. Only at speeds below 200 kph the engine is louder than the wind, so you can drive according to the noise as in the past. The positive aspect: over the distance, the low noise is very pleasant, so it is more relaxing for the driver.”

    Nice choice. I reckon they need to do an RSD8 with a detuned R10 engine.
