It does seem a bit weird... However, in the latest version of RCE, Thomas Laudenbach (head of Audi Sport's Hybrid division) claims that they could have gone for 4MJ without going over the minimum weight limit, but they wouldn't be able to achieve the optimum weight distribution, and they're still claiming to hold the reliability card.WhiteBlue wrote: I just can't believe the Audi people got it so wrong with the technology balancing.
I think that the late change in that balancing is really hurting Audi. The rules changed after Audi allready homologised there car, if I remmember correctly. They got less fuel for stint and less fuel for the lap then they tought when they decided on a 2MJ option (petrol 6MJ cars got more of both). This change could throw the power to fuel efficiancy ratio of there diesel engine out of the window.WhiteBlue wrote: I just can't believe the Audi people got it so wrong with the technology balancing.
I don't think it is a question of petrol vs. diesel balancing that is the problem... since it was always known that the best Diesel would be balanced against the best petrol... I think the final EoT may have given more advantage to the bigger Hybrid classes than the earlier versions of appendix B.. but it is difficult for us to say because (to my knowledge) the FIA have never declared the BSFC's of the manufacturers and neither have they declared the characteristics of the fuel... we know how many litres of fuel each car gets per refill of the fuel tank, but we don't know the exact density or the engine's BSFC (grams of fuel per kW.Hour), so we can't figure out how much energy they're getting from each refill which is a bit annoying.tomazy wrote:I think that the late change in that balancing is really hurting Audi.

You can't take that at face value though because the #1 and #2 Audis were in high downforce trim and were faster in the twistier middle section of the lap...Some nice 25-30km/h advantage on the straights for Toyota vs Audi.
Yeah higher df then toyota but Audi said it was their Le Mans trim so ?machin wrote:I don't think it is a question of petrol vs. diesel balancing that is the problem... since it was always known that the best Diesel would be balanced against the best petrol...
