The Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the sanctioning body behind the 24 Hours of LeMans race, announced a series of rule changes designed to make the gasoline powered LMP1 race cars more competitive with their diesel powered brethern. Currently, oil-burning offerings from Audi and Peugeot dominate the field, but in 2011, the auto makers will see a new challenger from British firm Aston Martin.
Like the Audi R10, the Aston Martin will be an open cockpit single seater, but engine details remain scarce. Only time will tell if the new regulations have leveled the playing field, but the diesels have done a good job of capturing the public’s imagination.
