I believe that Vandijk's site has the "sound" of the engine....

He is one of the guys who runs the PlanetLeMans website...

Also, if you look through this index of Forums, look for other "Taurus Diesel" Threads...I remember him attaching a link that would let you hear the sound of the engine as well...

Click here to get to the page with the link for the diesel. You may need to download the codec to view it.

I thought it sounded like the gearbox whining, but I'm not entirely sure. Can anyone be definitive about this?

Our work has turbo-diesel trucks and they emit that same high pitched whine at freeway revs, so I suspect that is the turbo that you here in the clip. As far as the visible exhaust, it really wasn't that bad, a little mapping work at the bottom of the rev range would clean that right up, if you watch it stops smoking maybe 100 feet or so down track.

I'll be meeting with Simon Dawson at Le Mans, so if there's anything you'd like me to ask him (or if you'd like me to tape the engine sounds for you), let me know.

Just the fact that it's a diesel, it gets my vote as most reliable engine at LM. Maybe I should have read the entry list better, I just flat out missed that.
It was hardly reliable at Monza as it never left the start line!
