Audi was so dominant because they had no "real" competition.

Porsche's P2 racers are smaller, lighter and less powerful.

Audi had a clear advantage over everyone in their diesels because of the unfair rules regarding the amount of fuel they were allowed to have onboard. they were given a HUGE break since no one else was using diesel at the time.

Diesels have better mileage so more fuel + better mileage = clear advantage.

Even tho, Porsche Spyders were quicker on short tracks!

[Garage419]

if diesels were such a clear advantage, why didn't all the other teams switch to diesel? P2 cars are in a different class BTW, so they really aren't competition at all...

Ever heard of Peugeot?

[Garage419]

I said "all" the other teams. Not one other team. and Peugeot has gotten their ass kicked virtually every time by Audi.

I am not even a racing fan and I watched this and loved it!!

if you call being on the forefront of performance cheating, then you must hate all innovations because to stay ahead, you have to evolve. Audi is the epitome of endurance racing, in the same way Ferrari is the shit in F1. The Peugeot is damn fast, but its not always about speed, because it is a 24hr race so durability/reliability counts a lot too. Id rather be consistent and a few ticks behind to make it to the end, than be fast early and fade late. for now, Audi > Peugeot.

Well Audi has done it again in this movie, mega millions of dollars in corp sponsership, mega million dollar drivers.3 Diesel powered cars that pretty much dominate every other car just like there qautro powered vehicles did years ago that raised a big stink because they were all wheel drive ,audi always looking for ways to cheat to win races similar to to a gocart racing a lambo there's no contest. Audi is a big dissapointment Come on PEUGEOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
