What are the sources for saying Peugeot kept them from entering an interim car? A furry bear or something more solid? Either way, it doesn't seem to make sense with the way the new car is ready at the same time as when they would have raced another spec of it.
I bet they'll still go through tests longer than 12 hours this week and at Sebring after the race, so it comes down to them not wanting to race if they aren't sure enough they can win. Peugeot will probably clock close to a race distance before the race in the coming week to make sure everything is to their liking; this is more testing than any non-factory team does anyways, but still it's not enough for Audi?!
It's kinda like Cadillac entering their car everywhere in its first year and seeing it break a lot, and then drastically cutting back on racing, especially in 2002. In fact even Audi entered the highly imperfect R8R at Sebring in 99.
I just hope they find out how rubber pickup from a field of other cars blocks their radiators before the big race. Or not; that would serve them a lesson!
