They'll be watching their mirrors, but not just for their teammates.

I think your missing the big fact that the Peugeot was fast BECAUSE it was essentially the same car and was running the highest HP engine allowed by the rules.
The car was not innovative by any means.
The Audi on the other hand was able to stay on pace with the 908 for most of the season and made for some great battles. And it was Audi's first year out with a coupe in a long time, and the car(engine) were very innovative.
The stats on paper would look as if the Pug would be much faster, and I was quite suprised to see that single turbo V6 power that R18 like it did
