Problem is, outside of Le Mans, Audi probably has the better car-they proved it in '09 at Sebring and PLM. The modified R15 dominated at Paul Ricard, even before Oreca's air jack problems, as the Audi had built up a 10 second lead, and from there the Pug struggled to match the Audi on a consistant basis.

And at Spa, Audi had little difficulty in the dry keeping up with the 908s, and if they ran a high downforce setup, they'd probably would've been faster. Peugeot, with slowed deveopment and probably having to re-think their engine package for the LMIC races(though those are shorter than Le Mans) are gonna have their hands full with Audi, since they can't just worry about Allan and Dindo alone-Le Mans proved that Audi can put any of their LM drivers into the second LMIC car and they'd have an equal chance as McNish and Capello.
