How do people see this then? Obviously Audi have an uphill struggle with only one car running now. I'm not sure if I think that the speed of Audi will win over the economy of the Pug.

I think the Audi will win. It would just be so typical of them.
No, Martin is completely right.Quote:

In the driver's briefing they were explicitly told to take the racing line regardless, because that's the consistent way to read traffic. It's a similar principle in oval racing.
Rocky comes steaming through on the inside flashing the stupid HIDs. Typical Audi driver thinking they own the road! :D
The Audi skates across the gravel because prototypes have huge flat floor.Quote:

Massive FAIL
(Relatively) trouble-free, I still think Audi can win, but of course anything goes wrong & they lose time there's 3 Peugeots waiting to pounce. Still, hard to count Audi out of this one. If Audi doesn't win with their one remaining car, then likely we will see a Peugeot 1-2.Quote:

Four cars are still on the lead lap too, there's still nothing in it.
I just hope it isn't eventually decided by safety cars.
Can't tell if your serious? If you are, then why should Audi withdraw the remaining car just because the other have suffered non-systematic accidents?Quote:

Anyways the race is starting to swing in Peugeots favour. Audi have had a few slow stints while the others have used the soft tyre to up their pace. Daylight will bring nee challenges though.
