I am sure Pesca and the rest should take heart from the example.

Yes, but Mazda persuade FIA with succes to allow 787B to run with less weight than the others Cat 2 cars, and for 1991 FIA force to add 100kg to Cat 2 cars, so their weight was around 980-1000 kg...Mazda had advantage with a 840 kg car.
Cat 1 cars? everyone knew in 1991 that Cat 1 cars hadn't enough reliable to finish a 24 hours race (I don't remember exactly when Peugeot abandoned the race...approximately between the 2nd and the 4th hour I think)
So...
...Less weight for Pesca and the rest! More weight for Audi and Peugeot!
