Audi TDi set for F1 2014
Discussion
It's looking ever more likely that Audi will join the F1 circus next season with a 4 pot turbo diesel, to take advantage of the new engine regulations.
Audi Sport boss Dr Helmut Langschwanz said "Audi has aleady shown the world how Vorsprung durch Technik can dominate Rallying, Touring Cars and Endurance Racing, so Formula 1 is a natural progression."
Dr Langweile believes that the weight saved by the lighter fuel load required by their diesel engines will more than compensate for any perceived power disadvantage. "Future F1 races will only be won by cars with the most fuel-efficient engines and by drivers who know how to manage the best fuel-economy from their cars. We will expect our drivers to achieve a minimum of 70mpg during any race weekend."
Dr Langnase would not be drawn on pitlane rumours that Audi drivers would be ordered to hold up faster drivers at any cost.
