Again, yes and no (or no and yes). Personally I don't actually think that this year proved that Audi deserved to be on top - not car-wise - but tactically and team-wise - for sure that was the case. I think Audi had some breaks and then built on those to make their own luck - if they hadn't I firmly believe they would have lost the race by several laps.
But as to your thoughts on near-identical cars and a hammer and tongs race - yep, that sounds good to me. We nearly had it this year - we can only hope that we really get it next year.
