I did an analysis of the topspeed during the race and the topspeed of each car during the practice sessions. All Pugs hit 300 kph during the race, and were only marginally faster during free practice sessions. So while they may have done something it is not as dramatic as the difference of the race pace of the Pugs vis-a-vis the Audis. But of course it is rather convenient for the Audi drivers to put at this aspect, and maybe they find some consolation from this.
Edit: apologies for using the word "may" twice....
