a 5.5l diesel in audi and peugeut makes ~700hp that volume petrol engine with a twin turbo would make 1000hp easily with the same restrictors. so would you be so kind as to eplain how the diesel is better!

sorry to reply out of order,but... ACO thinks so... 9 liter less for diesels tanks is justified by saying that diesel has 10% higher BTU for the same fuel volume.
which is a lie of course... unless diesels where running JP8 kind of aircraft fuel which is very doubtful for a lot of reasons...
Now that tells a lot of who is favoring who, dosen't it ????

NO, diesels have not won, they have delivered a severe BEATING...
But in here i'm on your side believe me... there shouldn't be any discrimination neither in weight or in engine volume and restrictor sizes accounting only for the fuel type. Only then we would have a fair match = oranges to oranges = .Those diesels allowed to enter as they were, were a busted campaign to show the superiority of petrol that went the other side... to counteract the flight of general population to day by day diesel cars by economical issues... otherwise they would never had allowed them.
And IMHO diesel now don't need any favor now. Petrol had a century of development in race conditions, diesel only 4 years... but its not to hard to see that the RPM potential of diesel will go high now that some fundamental issues of how they operate in race conditions are understood.
Now the petrol head campaign, on behalf of scum "oil" lords and there big oil companies is in the sense of abolishing diesels... because if common people start to see the picture and wiseup, most of the cars sold would be diesels... even road "sport" super cars... and that could mean 20-30% less in their(oil companies) business volume ( an enormous amount of money!)...
But fairness it not their motto... they would prefer to put petrol engines to shame to find that way a justification to abolish diesel than play really fair... and pretend by un-fairing every other rule that a large volume diesel is inferior to a smaller volume petrol engine, if possible... that is how scum the scum we are dealing with !...
So never expect that no matter what type of fuel... diesel, petrol or alcohol... that ACO rules that engines main characteristics will be the same... scum "oil" lords wont allow them, only business nothing personal!... "we" people must not have tools to make an educated choice...
