It's more than just figures with the new Audi, in those videos at Sebring it seemed to move around the circuit effortlessly, so it's working in practice as well as in theory.
I can see the Audi having a massive advantage in being nimble, which should definitely play in to Audi's hands at the smaller ILMC races and probably ace sector times in the last sector at La Sarthe.
One weak-point could be driver visibility; the R18 seems to have a narrow windscreen, maybe even more narrow than the 908. Considering the Audi drivers have little experience of lapping GT cars in a closed, modern LMP it could be a cause for concern, especially having tested for hours on clear tracks.
It took the Pug drivers the whole of 2007 to learn how to not drive in to GT2 cars.
