WTCC diesel performance to be limited

23rd January 2008

The FIA has confirmed that diesel engines used in its 2008 World Touring Car Championship will have their performance controlled by a combination of restrictions on fuel pressure, turbocharger boost pressure and air/fuel ratio.

The limitations are aimed at providing parity between petrol and diesel engined cars racing in the WTCC and to that end will be tailored to each manufacturer’s engine.

FIA Touring Car Commission president Jonathan Ashman said, "Exactly how it works is still to be decided, but we can make changes at any point. Inevitably there will be a bedding-in period in the early days as it will need some adjusting.”
