Yes, they won this year at Le Mans but wasn`t quite as fast as the gasoline ones last year.

That's true but they had less pit stops that help them make some valuable times during races and I have to add something that I have seen on all the diesel engines is that when you floor the pedal ,a black smoke comes out of the engine (even these following premium diesel makers Mercedes E270 CDI,Audi A4 TDI,BMW 530D etc) that gives me some thought gasoline still the best
. I also don't like the diesel engine sounds they are very itching
However the gap has been very closed down between gasoline and diesel engine and unless we see a true Ferrari or Lamborghini diesel engines out
