As practice for the 2009 24 Hours of LeMans has begun, signaling that we are only days away from what should prove to be an epic battle between Audi and Peugeot. If the 12 hours of Sebring gave us any insight into the racing game plan for LMP1, I would guess that we should expect a 24-hour sprint race between the top teams, with only a catastrophic breakdown or shunt causing the teams to stray from that course.
Likely the R15 will be a little slower than the 908 HDi DPFS, but will be more fuel-efficient and require fewer stops. However if the Audi runs into trouble it will be harder for them to make up time on the faster Peugeot.
