Le Mans Techno Topics

At Le Mans in 2007 Peugeot had a slight edge over Audi in qualifying but it had to turn down its horsepower on race day to take the strain off, not only its engine but also its transmission, its wheel bearings and so forth. It wasn’t surprised to have to play second fiddle to Audi and was more than happy to get a car home in second place. In 2008 it was different. Peugeot had some additional horsepower in qualifying but more significantly it had the ability to race at its 2007 qualifying pace. There was no inherent reliability issue and its race pace was slightly superior to that of Audi. Not enough to dominate in the manner of qualifying; just enough to stay ahead, at least in the early stages. As the race progressed two other factors came into play.
