Considering how well McNish ran at Daytona, would it be a fair statement that Audi's big issue with the R18 last year was horrid visibility and not the fact that Allan or Tom lost their touch? Of course, the fact that the R18H runs with a wider windscreen and a re-profiled upper tub (wider upper greenhouse and re-profiled nosebox and tub nose (?) ) seem to be a mea culpa by Audi Sport to those facts.
And whatever happened to the rumors/reports of the R18's windscreen causing distortion? It seems that the Toyota onboards show some distortion in isolated areas of the windscreen (not necessarily in the drivers' sight line), but that can also be the tear-off film/sheets or a camera effect. However, I've never noticed this being an issue on the R18, though the onboard cameras seemed to be mounted a fair distance away from the windshield compared to the TS030 onboards.
