wow, the afcionado never stops whining obviously. The problem that Peugeot encoutered during qualifying was called Radical, a large piece of its body work to be precise, that it left on the track during the second half of the qualification session. The yellow flags were waved there, so if you plan to go there full throttle, the stewarts may have a question or two for you. You are surely aware that the Audis went out early for qualifying, and the Pugs in the second half of the session.
Anyway, quoting the Mc Mish explanation for everything is a bit silly, because what he is uttering is just a morale booster for the public opinion, or in short, PR BS.....
On the other aspect that we were discussing here, I had a conversation with Lord Drayson at the Revival meeting this weekend, and the team haa to change the engine, plus the whole fuel line system and related stuff to have the run on european fuel. So yes they, may have been able to do better if they had more time to work on that (although they should have had some experience from Le Mans, I would say). The LMS fuel reduced the power of the car by about 50-60 BHP.
