Looks like Dieselgate claims yet another victim, although I’m actually surprised they started this season.

We do. If they break Porsche at Le Mans and the overall title next year, it opens an opportunity for Peugeot (and maybe BMW) to do the same.

But first, they gotta break Porsche. Now is the time for them to go for it. They’ve known they can win Le Mans.

But aren’t most, if not all of the R8 LMS teams customer teams as opposed to factory teams?

Perhaps this could be the perfect time for Bentley to make a Speed 8 follow up with a version of the V8 in their GT3 car, or perhaps step up with one of their W12s?

Really doubt it - the LMP1 competition is too tight, and the rulebook too biased towards small displacement turbocharged engines, to use a large displacement and/or production engine nowadays.
