I can't comment directly, as I have not had the privelage of being at Le Man's in person. But I think I can comment in general. These are racers. Bentley certainly were not quick enough to back off and coast and still beat the Audi teams. And the Audis new they had to give the highest effort to defeat Bentley. The drivers and teams want to win and will certainly push as hard as they can to win the race. With reference to what AMT said, they can't totally sacrifice reliability, but I think they push to the limit with that factor in mind. Now I can speak directly to the ALMS cars. Those guys are pushing hard to the limit. Did you watch Lehto driving his rear end off the last few races trying to get that drivers title? Or the Corvette/Ferrari battles? Great stuff!
