Nobody except Audi Sport can answer that question.

The original R15 suffered from dust/sand pickup clogging the intercoolers/radiators. No such issues have been reported for the R18.

The issues in Spa was the tyres were picking up "markles" (pieces of rubber). I doubt that you can simulate that on an airport runway.
