GasperG has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Just look to what extremes they have gone in aero design to try and be competitive this year, and I'm still not seeing how they will deal with the 919s (even though it's been one race, and Silverstone at that). I think the regulations clearly benefit a certain concept that has been pretty successful.
Also, since EoT is basically BoP the way I remember it, not being competitive would make the ACO readjust the regs so that you get a slightly higher allowance. And as you say, Audi is alone in the diesel class, so all that reflects and affects them. So I don't think they are playing the rules. They just have not been winning.
I think, that In couple of hours all Audi fans will be thrilled to see their advantage, of course it will be because they are far superior team, defying the laws of physics

Hope I'm wrong and we will see some tight racing, but I'm afraid it will not be the case.
