Thats what the ACO and fans like to see.
Thats why the R18 has gotten much more press and better recognition than the 908 EVEN THOUGH the 908 had a better record.

lol right, Audi only cares about the cars being innovative, they don't want to win. The boardroom told them it's fine to not win a race against Peugeot in 2 1/2 years if only the cars are innovative enough
And the R18 didn't get more press and recognition than the 908, spending more money on advertising doesn't exactly count as recognition. Audi is just busier pushing their stuff down people's throats (see the Nürburgring 24h sponsoring).
This kind of arrogant attitude is why so many people despise Audi. They're unpleasant losers (see the PLM), if they lose they complain about the competition or come up with bull**** excuses (like Ullrich's claim that Audi didn't work on any aero improvements for the R18 during the season which was a straight up lie).
The same thing will happen once Toyota gets competitive. Then the rules will be at fault or Toyota has an unfair advantage with the Hybrid technology or whatever... it's always the same with them.
