Audi Racer has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
So what do you guys think. is their any merit to this supercharger discussion or some kind of hybrid turbo charging device.
It seems all too coincidental to be ignored

1. the max displacement for supercharger is 3.7ltr. the audi is 3.7ltre v6 with an unspecified "charger"
2.The r18 has no turbo snorkels.
3.Audi closed the vents on the engine cover for the lm test day,
4. they seem to have little cooling requiremtns compared to the peugeot. (theres no side mounted air outlets like the ones tat kept falling off the peugeot in 09-10.)

if not a supercharger can we agree thats the turbo is located in the cylinder bank.


you say that a turbo is better because it only uses exhaust gasses. But with all the torque the diesel make im sure strapping a supercharger onto the crankshaft is not a burden.
