Perhaps it makes more sense to look at the top speeds of the afternoon test session when the teams were experimenting a bit less with aero settings.
  • Audi #1: 293.5 km/h
  • Audi #2: 292.7 km/h
  • Toyota #7: 288 km/h
  • Rebellion #12: 287.2 km/h
  • Oak #15: 291.9 km/h
  • JRM #22: 287.2 km/h
In that case, the difference in top speed between Audi and Toyota is around 5 km/h. That is in line with what we saw in the previous races.

Average of best top speeds during the 6 hours of Bahrain:
  • Audi #1 (e-tron): 285.5 km/h
  • Audi #2 (e-tron): 284.3 km/h
  • Toyota #7: 278.5 km/h
Average of best top speeds during the 6 hours of Sao Paulo:
  • Audi #2 (ultra): 281.5 km/h
  • Audi #1 (e-tron): 280.9 km/h
  • Toyota #7: 274.7 km/h
Average of best top speeds during the 6 hours of Silverstone:
  • Audi #2 (ultra): 275.2 km/h
  • Audi #1 (e-tron): 274.5 km/h
  • Toyota #7: 267.7 km/h
