a motor racing version of the common rail tdi engine made an impact in march 2006 when it was used in the le mans prototype (lmp) audi r10 tdi, and made its debut win in the 12 hours of sebring race. this victory was followed three months later by another one in the 24 hours of le mans race, becoming the first diesel-powered car to win these prestigious endurance races. fuel economy was a significant factor, as the car did not have to refuel as often as petrol engined race cars in the race. the car was fueled with a special synthetic v-power diesel from shell. the audi r10, r15 and r18 tdis have won at le mans eight times in nine years, from 2006 to 2014, with only the 2009 race being won by peugeot's 908 hdi fap, which is also a diesel powered car.
