Disagree about high downforce matter... last year at silverstone, both 919 were in low drag configuration and were competitive enough to win.
Tire pressure? I thought Audi's reasoning was excessive bouncing http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/123890? I didn't say they were cheating, but a too-worn plank means the car was running lower to the ground which can produce faster lap times.

At Silverstone 2015 Porsche had a lot higher top speed than Audi and had 8mj vs 4mj. This year it was 8mj vs. 6mj both with high downforce cars and like top speeds.
