What irks me is that the 908's a four year old design, and this year they've broken a lot of stuff--I can't think of the last time a 908 has had gearbox trouble with the internals...2007? And I think that LM '08 was the last time that a 908 had a gearshift problem(one of these failures befell the Oreca 908 at Hungaroring).

And we have to remember that Audi detuned their engines at LM to prevent what happened to Peugeot from happening to them. And at LM, the 908s started to have mechanical issues before the 1000km mark in that race. That's what has me worried about Peugeot, as well as the fact that the R15, by some Peugeot drivers' own admission, may be better suited for the ILMC circuits.
