Amazing what a TDI car can do.

@Weezing77 I remember always being told that Diesels weren't as powerful as Petrols. That when it came to sheer force, petrols always came out on top.
I started learning to drive just over a year ago in Citoren C3... but couldn't figure out what the engine was - sounded like a diesel but went like a petrol. I asked my instructor, it was a diesel alright!

PETROL, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT!!!!!!!!! NO DIESEL!

@kanaric we should ban you

@2t9j0bowler300 Complete BS about the 787B. There was a simple regulation change which was decided in 1989/1990 (just for recap: Mazda's won 1991). This regulation change outlawed majority of the old "C2" category cars - so much for the worldwide conspiracy theory against rotaries.
787B did have weight advantage though in 1991 - its mandated minimum weight was lower than other "C2" cars. Other teams never opposed because the 787B had not been a serious contender during the WSPC season.

@FormulaOneSpy you know a diesel engine doesnt have external ignition; it forces air into the cylinders where the pistons come back up and rise the pressure (from physics you remember that higher pressure=increase in temperature) and the higher temperature ignites the fuel. So the only way to increase the power output of the engine is to use turbo to force as much air in as possible. With gasoline engines there are more variables affecting so naturally aspirated engines are reasonable

This just proves how bad ass the Volkswagon Group is

@parth17870 The actual reason the 787B was banned was not reliability, but "an unfair weight advantage" because of the wankel rotary engines.

audi is the best

@FormulaOneSpy At least Porsche is coming back in 2014. There's rumors that Ferrari might come back and GM might make a Le Mans prototype as well.
Yes "ban" diesels so we can stop advancing in automotive technology, thats the ticket. Just like they banned turbines and rotaries so nobody would even THINK of advancing in non-piston technology, banning diesel will SURELY stop the advancement of alternative fuel technology. We must ban everything but 1950s petrol piston engines. Fuck, might as well ban turbos and superchargers as well. Ban fuel injection as well, carb only! BAN IT ALL I FEAR CHANGE AND TECHNOLGICAL ADVANCEMENT!
