With Audi testing at Monza sans the pre-Curva Grande chicane, and with no reason to hold back(unlike the first couple days of the Sebring test) as it was a private test with no one around(except for the guys recording the videos) and no offical timing, and with as good as the cars looked in the videos(taking Curva Grande almost flat out, if not flat and only breathing the throttle and dabbing the brakes for the Parabolica), they should be in good shape if the car is reliable, which mechanically it should be, as it seems that Audi has the cooling issue from last year(the intercoolers getting clogged with dirt due to the agressively louvered sidepods on last year's car), and has survived two 24 or 30 hours test at Sebring without issues.

Anyone think that Peugeot might test at Monza now like Audi did with the R15+ if the Oreca 908 has trouble at Paul Ricard? Or is the 908 about maxed out if the latter proves to be the case?
