....sounds to me like it has a bit of everything - which is probably why they keep testing at the place ?

Its not that the Sebring version doesn't work - you are forgetting the time factor - First the big guns get a set of bodywork ready to go testing / do your first race (Peugeot started with a bodywork resembling last years car, which worked fine), but then you don't want to be caught with you latest developments until there is only very little time left for others to copy, manufacture, validate and test them, which is why they keep developing in CAD/CFD and the wind tunnel and then come out with an "Evo" package. Audi after the race at Sebring, Pug nearly the same time at Monza.
