Asphalted runoff were introduced in 2006 or 2007 if am I not wrong, were already there in 2008.
Mulsanne Straight was revamped in 2012 or 2013, because of that guess 2008 and 2010 908HDi could be even faster.
Useless to say that aero and tires development was considerably poor compared to nowadays lmp1's.
Considering also that 908HDi always ran overweighted and >1000Nm were available every second the car was on track....
we could say that 2008 pole was a display of mere brute power.
