new rules
This is from new ACO rules. It should change the Audi (and others) advantage considerably.
"Finally the major innovation in the A.C.O sporting regulations can be summed up in one sentence: "During the race changing the gearbox casing and/or differential housing is forbidden." What this means is that in the case of gearbox problems it will no longer be possible to replace the complete rear drive train in a few minutes. As in the ‘good old days’ the gearbox will have to "be rebuilt" which used to be the case for teams of limited means. This measure reinforces the notion of endurance and "Endurance is Le Mans!"
