It depends on the outfit - if you have the right mindset, the right drivers and the cash to invest in developing a good car you can be quick out of the box, but perhaps in this case the challenge was underestimated...? Too early to say for certain.
What is a certainty is that the choice of the R10 is one which can't have been taken lightly, to me it seems like a poor one as last yeat the car was barely quicker than the Lola-Aston. Furthermore the cost and complexity which comes with the Audi badge makes me wonder why they didn't go for a different customer option.
