I remember many years ago when Calum Lockie entered the first diesel engined car at Le Mans. It was miles off the pace because at the time diesel power was a completely new technology in racing.

Found some more details here - http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=97&i=8355

2004 was the year, seems to get forgotten in all the current day diesel versus petrol, hybrid and other Garage 56 stuff.

We went down to the stand to see it. They have a banner up saying "if everybody likes what you're doing, you're doing it wrong" which basically means they're saying anyone who hates it is wrong. What a bunch of pretentious cock bags.

They should put a GTR in GT. Actually a lot of the automotive companies should put their cars in GT. I know there's probably regulations that prevent some if not all of these from running the race, but it would be cool to see the SLS and maybe a couple R8's and even a Gallardo or two going around La Sarthe. I know the Bentley is coming next year and that will be fantastic, I just think the more diversity the better in GT even though it's pretty good already. One can dream I guess

Because its classic Darren Cox bullshit. It's all "oh you just don't get us, we're cool" crap. It's exactly what Nissan do. The previous DW, the new DW, the Juke GTR, it's all marketed as "LOL were cool. If you don't get us you're not down with the kids man"

Nissan need to man up and race against someone with competition rather than just being the only decent P2 engine supplier and a car that races in its own class with no rules.

Essentially my issue is Nissan are all talk and PR and not enough racing. This is a motor race. Start building proper cars and race then rather than taping electric motors to hacked up old chassis and pretending it's well wicked.

Any live stream for the historic race?
