Erm its the Austrian Touring Championship, not the Australian's............

Easy -- none of the other drivers could see where they were going 'cos of the smoke from overfuelling ;):D

But seriously, a diesel could make a good short-circuit racer 'cos of the low-down grunt, but might lose out 'cos it can't rev out as much. Maybe fit it with CVT?

Ooops, it was early in the morning, saw Austrian, type Aussie.

I'll get my coat...

To be pedantic it was the touring challenge not championship too

:)

... and my hat

Regardless of being a diesel, how many other cars in the series are turbocharged???
NONE.

It is pretty easy to get as much power as you want from any turbocharged engine, so how would a normally aspirated petrol engine be expected to win??
Now, if they were to allow petrol turbo cars in the series, I wonder what would win.
Diesels have come a long way, but it isnt a fair comparison, to compare turobcharged vs N/A. The turbocharged motor will always be better.
