I know that the R10's was mounted on the front of the engine(from a video) and Audi last year released a press photo of the R15's engine that had a front mounted tank.
I was just wondering why the change, considering that the R8 had better weight disribuition than the R10-or was it that the R10's engine was 1.5 times as long and 1.5 times as heavy. Also, it seems that the R15/R15+ has similar weight distribution to the R8.
But in endurance races, with oil burn off, could it effect handling, since Audi said that the oil tank on the R10 held 10 liters of oil and it burns off during a race and has to be topped up on occasion?
