In my head, diesels should be great for racing. They make great torque and great HP. Why aren’t they used for racing?
In: 5
From first principles we should expect diesel to be less suited for racing. It’s a less refined products that’s a mix of different chemicals. All other things equal would expect one particular chemical, and an engine designed around it, to have better characteristics regardless of what that characteristic is. Or if it’s a mixture of compounds then at least one that is carefully specified as opposed to diesel which can be a wide range of mixtures.
