@chernaudi: Check the timing pdf on the LMS website. The 2nd, 3rd and 6th stint of the #1 Peugeot were 1 lap longer than those of the #8 Audi. So your suggestion that Peugeot switched to fuel saving tactics late in the race, is incorrect. They had better fuel economy from the start of the race.
Peugeot clearly has better aero (less drag from same amount of downforce as Audi) and/or a better engine (when the engine is turned down to the same power level as Audi, it needs less fuel).
Peugeot beat Audi with better pace and better strategy (double stinting tyres from the start and saving the extra fuel stop at the end).
