Those post Laguna comments must surely be taken in the context of Audi having to compete under current IMSA performance adjustments, 65kg heavier than the petrol P1's.

Absolutely, and complaints of petrol teams must be taken in the context of Dyson, and Porsche, being beaten by a heavily restricted R8 earlier this season.

I have read that depite running a 15% smaller restrictor (than 2002 and new reg LMP1s) the R8's V8 FSI turbo was still producing around 580-600bhp ('official' figures for 2002 were 610bhp), so perhaps the turbo V8 had something in hand all these years, and a new factory turbo FSI V8 would have a very significant advantage over a Judd or Mugen atmo engine?
