I agree with the R15 and 908, but the R10 looks to only have a slight advantage, if any, based on straight line performance at Barcelona.

The 908's V12 was a stormer from the off, and developed over the winter, while Audi have designed an all new V10.

Acura have arguably compromised performance in anticipation of the 2011 regs, while customer engine manufacturer's must also have an eye on this.
