Tonight's University Challenge - Post War Cars - Rudedog
I've just watched tonight's University Challenge and they had a set of questions on post war cars that have won Le Mans.

Mr Paxman showed the team a picture of the latest TDi Audi to have won, the captain answered that it was the "Audi R10", well done I thought, but no, apparently according to UC it was a R8!, I hope they don't loose by 5 points.

There was an R8 race car (petrol) before the R10 (diesel).

I'll have to check it on the iPlayer, I'm sure it had TDi plastered all over the picture of the car.

Just rewound it on the Sky box.

It had "TDi Power" plastered down the sides and "TDi" on both front wheelarches.

Kevin...
