Also - Even if they are very competitive at Silverstone, I'm not sure that it would be wise to show a full hand, as the BoP police will be eager to strike before Le Mans.

I'm not so sure engine will be a real trouble fo Porsche, except for fuel consumption. Main problems for the old RSR were from the aero-package. The car was not fast in LM due to the inadeguate aerodynamics, and not for the engine. Power is quite the same of the opponents, with an improved aero, the car will have a lower fuel consumption, as well as better performance due to the better balancing. Porsche drivers have said to believe they'll be competitive since the first race. No one of them has spoken as if they were worried for the car performance.
Ok, we have to wait the race, but I believe numbers to win are just there!
Anyway, DFI will give another improvement to the car, of course.
