diesel will be the way, the advantages are that they pit less, less moving parts in the engine. Top speeds will never reach that of petrol but will be very close, this coupled with less stopping for fuel will put them them on a fairly even keel with them.
Diesel will win at Le Mans in five years is the prediction.
The advancement in road cars is surely testiment to this, over the last few years the advances in engine and performance coupled with reasonable economy is staggering.
VW racing series, the diesels are not that far away from the petrol engined cars

times on saturday - travel section has an article on the P & O situation and highlights the fears that Brittany Ferries will abuse their position.
BF MD Dave Longden is quoted as saying
"Our prices this year were exactly the same as they were in 2003 - and i can say there will be no price increases for 2005 beyond inflation. Indeed, that there will be a range of reductions on many sailings."

so the main 2005 motoring event will be the LMES race YES, YES, YES !!! Thanks a lot Bernie ! Er, well no it won't Gilles. Both the Goodwood events (Festival of Speed and the Revival) attract crowds in excess of 100,000 - The FOS figure was 153,000 in 2003. I rather doubt that the crowd for the LMES Silverstone round was much over 30,000. Perhaps someone who knows can tell us. it appeared to be more like 3000 it really wasn't well attended for a reasonably high profile race, perhaps more will be put into marketing it. Though, as Plamer's (MSV) tracks may not get F3 and BGT due to track hire fee dispute with SRO, Silverstone may have that series to share with Donington. At least drivers wouldn't have the excuse that they didn't know the track when they spun off

perhaps if he'd still been big mates with tony it might still be here.
I won't miss it never went and never wanted to.
LMES showed that you can out on good racing at affordable prices, so Sliverstone should concentrate on that and other things like attracting FIA GTS DTM and BTCC which last weeks racing at Donington was really good stuff.
