It should be noted that the #2 Audi's late flyer was within .3 of a second of last year's pole time. I think that when it comes down to qualifying time, I'll bet that this year's pole will be significantly faster than last year's time, and the #2 should benefit from having more downforce and any other LMP1, including it's teammate (the rear wing mods) and a somewhat more powerful hybrid system.
Of course, it was claimed that a R18 e-tron ran a 1:43 in testing last year. Audi probably are def. sandbagging to keep the ACO from making anymore BOP changes, and you can bet that Toyota will be doing the same in the WEC rounds before LM, and that the other ALMS teams will be playing that game most of the year.
