The smoke puffs are clearly being ejected out the exhaust after the 908 rounds the corner and straightens out. And it definently doesn't seem to be coming out from under the diffuser (bottoming out on the skid/rub strips), but rather over the rear deck, and hence, likely from the exhaust exits.
Or if a sound cue is more desireable, listen for the brief moment that the revs rise (after the noise made by the tires going over the curbs). It seemed to smoke when going from low to wide open throttle.
When one considers that the 908s started to run 3:27s or whereabouts in short spirts, they probably cranked up the power late in the second session, and, only judging because I wasn't there, it seemed that it was late in the afternoon at LM when that video was taken, since it takes a while in the afternoon for the sun to set (Le Mans being fairly far north, meaning a late sunset).
And besides, diesels shouldn't have excess fuel on overrun, shouldn't the? Then again, Audi said that, back in 2006...
