Thats not accurate - there are large A pillars in the Audi's windscreen before door opening - I have mentioned before that I asked Chris (cant remember his surname), the R18 tech chief, at the TT pit visit whether the large A post affected the drivers visibility and his answer was that the size of the A posts didn't matter because the tall wheelarches would prevent better vision if the posts were smaller. The drivers eyeline was clearly below the level of the wheelarches.
The cars problem is and has always been the fact that the wheelarches effectively prevent any meaningful sideways vision.
