Wow. I tuned in for maybe 20 minutes in the middle of the day. Those things sound really weird.

I was standing on the outside of turn one and was amazed at how fast the audi's were through that corner. They have the complete package.... well if they can figure out the overheating thing in the other car. :D

IMO, this is what racing should be about.... R&D.... trying new things. 2 years ago if someone said a diesel would win Sebring most people would have laughed.

I think it's really cool they weren't afraid to try this.

Anyone know what kind of mileage those things get?
