De R10 gaat trager moeten tanken

Quote:
Diesel fuel is more energy-rich than regular gasoline, allowing the R10 to last longer between pitstops than petrol-powered cars.

Now, the International Motorsports Association, which runs the ALMS, plans to shrink the size of the fuel nozzle from 38mm to 33mm. This is being mandated as an interim step before the fuel tanks are restricted in accordance with the ACO's wishes.

This means that the pitstops for the Audi R10, competing in the ALMS for the second time this season in Utah this weekend, will take longer than their petrol equivalents.
