New aero to overcome, and more, the rear wing change, tyre development etc.
= 1-1.5 seconds quicker in 2009
R10
2008 - 720bhp
2009 - 670bhp (10% restrictor cut, plus basic winter development as Audi concentrate on the R15)
Little aero development so a drop in downforce, for a car that already had conservative aero, no longer a tyre advantage as a customer car(?).
= 1-1.5 seconds slower in 2009.
