Btw, what's the hp difference between them and Audi? They have something like 700 and Audi below that, right?

damn the f1 car destroyed the peugeot but the lemans car is an endurance car so over a distance it would win.

Yep cause the engine and transmission wouldn't last for more than 5 hours, at best.
At Monaco, even a 35+ year old F1 car would probably beat a sport prototype.

Kudos to Audi for another victory... and this time with a truly worthy competitor.

Not really a worthy competitor, you can say it the next year.

The best part was watching Adrian Newey in a Ferrari!

Well Peugeot really gave it a go this year... they had a stonger engine it was the first time in a while that there was a chance that the Audi weren't going to win... even though they did.

But they were still rockies and they are far from reaching their maximum potential, next year it will be a bettet competitor.
