Yes but I think the Pug was not flat out at Le Mans, rather going for a finish. Also the Le Mans circuit is very different to most of the others in set up. I think if the pug was racing in ALMS it wouldnt be struggling against the Porsche in the way the Audi is. Purely personal opinion, of course. Audi to me have been caught of guard by the sheer increase in pace of LMP2 - 4/5 secs a lap in a year, at some circuits.
It will be interesting to see how Audi rise to the challenge next year.
