McNish on his website said that Peugeot got the jump early because they were able to warm their tires quicker than he was able too, so it seemed that Allan's R15 didn't have the same handling issues as the #8 did. Whether or not that would've made a difference won't be known now with the DNF, though.
He also said that Audi have an idea about why the #8 had it's issues and those should be fixed by PLM, along with the differential.
