As the Audi R10 diesels hit the streets of America's Monaco in Long Beach for the first time this weekend, their French challengers will take to the track in anger for the first time at Monza in Italy. The LeMans Endurance series has its first race this week, and the Peugeot 908 HDi will be getting its first taste of competition. After a series of private track tests since January, two diesel-powered 908s will have their first opportunity to see if they really have what it takes on the Audis come the 24 hours of LeMans in June. The green flag for the 1000km Monza race drops at 1300 CET on Sunday.

Dow Automotive to supply particulate filters for Peugeot 908

Dow Automotive is teaming up with Peugeot to supply particulate filters for the 908 HDi that will be running in the 24 Hours of LeMans in June. Peugeot will be joining Audi as the second team in the big-boy LMP1 class to run diesel engines. The 908 is a closed cockpit prototype powered by a 5.5L turbocharged diesel V-12. Dow has developed a particularly lightweight, compact filter with low back pressure. This will help minimize the impact on performance under the extreme conditions of running a LeMans for 24 straight hours at high speeds. Peugeot particularly wants to demonstrate the performance capabilities of their race car while at the same time having very clean emissions.

Peugeot 908 livery unveiled - View our gallery

We have shown you the Peugeot 908 racecar a few times now, and even video of the machine on the racetrack. Now, we can show you the official livery of the vehicle. Interested? Check out the gallery, hosted over at Autoblog.

The reason that this vehicle is here on the green side of things is the diesel engine which powers it. Similar to the Audi R10 racecar, the hope is to take advantage of the fuel mileage benefits of the diesel engine over its petroleum-fueled competition. Audi did this to good effect last year, dominating the racetrack when it was on the grid. Peugeot hopes to do the same this year.

Two diesel powered racecars on the track this year, hydrogen powered racers, ethanol and hybrid powered rally cars. Maybe it's not so hard to be green after all?

Audi R10 TDI gets Pioneering and Innovation Award from Autosport magazine

Posted Dec 5th 2006 at 11:02AM by Sam Abuelsamid

Filed under: Diesel, Audi



The all-conquering Audi R10 TDI has been awarded the Pioneering and Innovation Award from the British racing magazine Autosport at their annual awards ceremony. The R10 was the first diesel-powered racer to win the 24 hours of Le Mans as well as going undefeated in the seven races it ran in the American Le Mans Series. The vastly reduced fuel consumption of the diesel allowed the R10 to run three laps farther between each fuel stop at Le Mans compared to the previous R8. In 2007 Audi will be joined on the track by the new diesel powered Peugeot 908 RC which should give them some real competition for the first time in several years.
