Peugeot only has to replace the conrods as a precaution after every race and they are fine. A 6/10 hours vs 24 hours makes a huge difference.
I don't share your optimism that Audi will easily be faster than Peugeot. The Peugeot has a serious engine advantage (if the conrods stay in one piece), so therefor they can run with more downforce than Audi. In the Porsche curves (sector 3) Peugeot was more than 1 sec faster than Audi.
Peugeot will go flat out to win the cup and prove that they have the speed and reliability to beat Audi.
