Yup, those 5 seconds were what allowed Porsche to retain the lead after every pit cycle. Then once the night came, Porsche took away Audi's biggest advantage by quadruple stinting tires. Porsche's management of the race was nearly perfect and the lack of technical issues was icing on top.

Did Audi ever give a reason why they didn't try a quintuple stint during the night? All RLM said was that maybe Audi were afraid the drop off in pace would be too drastic.
