• The Le Mans-winning Audi R15 plus still suffers from knife-edge aero and a lack of front mechanical grip – two things that plagued the R15 and won’t be solved in time for Petit Le Mans, but these issues are major part of design solutions for the Audi R18.
• Even after four years of head-to-head competition, Peugeot’s amazing mechanical grip – especially at the front of their 908 chassis – still has Audi mystified.

The second point might confirm that Peugeot has an inerter hidden in the nose of the 908.
