I'm not sure why some think Porsche's tactic will be to charge hard right from the start. It seems to me that if one has a "fragile" car , one would want to pace one's self as much as possible and try to get to the closing stages of the race before using the speed at hand.
I suspect they will try and match Toyota and Audi's pace (if possible) and avoid loosing as much time in the pits as possible.
I could be wrong, but to go out to Le Mans with an aggressive strategy when your car is somewhat unreliable seems to me a bit foolhardy. It's a bit like playing Russian roulette with six bullets in the chamber.

I also suspect that both Audi and Porsche will look to Toyota to set the pace, and they will try and match it.
