The Peugeot was clearly worse in the corners, but a little quicker on the straights. The Audi's were better all around, and then this year they crushed Peugeot with a 1-2-3 win at Le Mans with the new R15.
yeah, I loved that race - disappointed TK got collected with that GT car but a podium finish for him 2 Laps off the lead is stellar and seeing Rocky, Bernhard, and Dumas win 3 years after they crashed at Tetre Rouge - these guys were really quick Porsche guys when I first saw them race with Alex Job years back - great to see a win at Le Mans - they truly deserved it - sorry to the French boys and Dindo, TK, and crazy Allain McNish - better luck this year
Peugeot has tuned their car up this year, they have more horsepower and better aero then the Audi R-10 TDI. The Peugeot 908 has faced the R-10 twice this year, and both times it has outqualified the R-10s AND had better race pace, 1-2 seconds a lap quicker.
Want Proof?

Watch the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP stomp a mudhole in the Audi R10 TDI
yeah i heard that this is the last year for open cockpit cars which in my opinion is stupid cause i find they look better hopefully some people agree with me
The Audi R10 looks just so much quicker than the Peugeot 908 on the straight lines, and also much more secure in the corners. I think we didn't see the R10 pushed to its limits in 2007 either. In fact, looking at ACO's official data on sector times, it looks as the R10s went slower in 2007 than in 2006, except for the modified Tetre Rouge (which led to the faster times & higher top speeds). The top cars managed 339 km/h on pt.1 of Mulsanne in 2007!
I agree with u i hate Audi but if the design for their closed cockpit is the real one i will cheer 4 tht lol
plus tht wud be gd a closed rs spyder or even a brand new lmp 1 closed cockpit porsche if tht happened le mans wud be epic peugeot, audi and porsche all racing for the win
do the paddock tickets i was lookin at on the offiial ticket site for round 500 quid actually get you walkin in round the grid or what advantages do they bring?
6:20 It's a onboard shot from a GT car! Why don't they show this anymore?!

The Peugeot is faster in any way. But Audi is working on a new car, The R15 TDI with roof!

The LMP series still can be open. GM wanted to have Cars with
- Two Seats
- Silouets of a Production Car
- less Power
but this change are not applied cause Audi and some LMP2 Teams said they would not come to Le mans with this rules.
Peugeot is driving ALMS and the advantage of the Series. AFAIR Audi wants to drive LMS in the next Saison.

No, the road car GT1 2008. But unfortunately I see connection to Le Mans with that, regarindg the 2010 which won't turn LMP1 to GTP.

i think before and after the race, but for access to the paddock during the race, i think you need a press pass.
