Maybe the climatic windtunnel didn't go a good enough job simulating tire debris, but then again, it's a windtunnel, not a rolling road or track surface.
I didn't really notice that the front end of the R18 changed much aside from the fact that it seems that some changes were made to the profile of the front fenders.
The rear deck is more noticeable, and seems to be modeled on the LM 908 variant's. Maybe Audi is testing to see if one or the other setup is better for LM.
Audi also used a water truck (like Peugeot) to water down the track late in their test session.
