I would have thought Nissan would do something like that, figure out the 3 quickest blokes, put them into one car, and turn up the wick loudly to get some noise on track, as well as in the media.

The thing about being Porsche out-Audi-ing Audi... the Audi stops were slower than the Porsche ones from all accounts. Mr Webber made mention of it as one of the reasons the #19 could skip away.. Wonder what went wrong for Audi's stops?

IIRC, what they were saying at the time on Radio Le Mans was Porsche were able to refuel their cars quicker than Audi, knocking a good 5 seconds of their stops. This either enabled Porsche to retain the lead and or sometimes undercut Audi.
