Everyone please look at their site rallyvw.com and support them in their quest to race in Pikes Peak 2007. We need all the diesel racing recognition we can get and being in a big race like this is a easy way to get it.
I took this from tdiclub.com:

Well, we have decided to attempt Pikes Peak this year again with a much faster car. I think the car is way under powered for the all out record for Diesel, but we want to go and improve our time for the record books.
I am working on updating the car and adding the additional saftey equipment needed to compete.
We will also be running a few fundraisers to try to get enough money for the trip. Fuel costs are huge.
If anyone has any ideas on helping us raise money, I am all ears. I know our TdiClub sponsors always donate items for raffles, but I think it will take more money this time. Thanks.
Here is the link to Pikes Peak.

Audi is expanding the range of its two highest-volume model series with four new, particularly efficient models. The A3, A3 Sportback 1.9 TDI e and A4 2.0 TFSI e in saloon or Avant guise are especially efficient in the way they transform fuel into propulsive energy. Audi’s competence in the field of direct injection technology provides for powerful propulsion and a high degree of efficiency. Advanced engine technology employing direct fuel injection is the basis for a long range on a single tank of fuel, both with petrol engines, for example the A4 2.0 TFSI e, and with diesel engines, for example the A3 1.9 TDI e.
