In earlier discussions, it has been pointed out that the exhaust gasses of a low revving diesel engine are not fast enough to be used for aerodynamic gains.
F1 engines run at 18000 rpm, whereas LMP1 diesel engines only rev to 5000 rpm. That is a huge difference.
Furthermore, a lot of the kinetic energy of the exhaust gasses is consumed by the turbocharger.
