But where did Peugeot pick up so much speed down the straights--both 908's trailed the #7 Audi in session one in lap time and only one 908 was slightly faster in the speed trap, while both have been faster than both Audis in session two.
At PLM last year, Peugeot used their HD package, but were trimming downforce to boost straightline speed for qualifying during practice. Granted, because of rain and Audi adapting a similar areo package that came to naught during the race, but it seems that Peugeot knows that tomorrow may be a throwaway day, and trying to get set up for qualifying now and maybe running fast laps now in case Q is a washout.
