Will Audi First Biodiesel Race Car Win Le Mans? The R8 and newer R10 were built to win Lemans. The ALMS has changed their rules making Audi use a smaller tank, less fuel means more stops, which put it at a disadvantage versus the Spyder from Porsche. Also the tracks they race on give advantage to lighter cars{At Lemans the Porsche will end up laps behind the R10}. The ALMS is practice for Lemans which is why Audi withdrew to compete against their true competition Peugot in Europe.They will be missed. Hope this helps explain why LMP2 cars can beat the R10 in ALMS. The Spyder is a great car, but its not an R10.
