Problem is that Peugeot's Bruno Famin said at Silverstone that Peugeot was aiming for a similar time line for the 90X--car was nearly complete, and would test after the ILMC ended in November.
However, we didn't know what the 2010 evolution of the Audi R15 looked like until March, and even then Audi had a few more tweaks up the sleeve.
It seems that the R18 and the 90x will hit the track for the first time on a similar time table, and that's plenty of time for Audi and Peugeot to spy on each other--after all, Dr. Ullrich has said that by March (Sebring) that if a major ACO rules change was made, unless it was a compliance/saftey issue, that there wouldn't be a hell of a lot that Audi can do then, though he was probably refering to KERS. Peugeot is probably in the same boat, obviously, with their new car, and the regs not being 100% clear, certianly to us, though both Audi and Peugeot claim to know what 99% of the rules for 2011 are.
