Adam,
I'm finding that very interesting (the MXR leading in the wet at Le Mans '92). I've recently been in touch with one of those involved with the design and development of the XJR-14. He's sent me some aero. figures and frankly I'm trying to make sense of them as they aren't even close to the level I thought they would be. He also worked on the TS010 and was able to confirm some L/Ds which blow the XJR-14 out of the water (and are more along the lines of what I would expect from a prototype of the era). Based on that, and given that both the XJR-14 and TS010 carried similar drag levels (given power output and top speed), it would appear to me that in LM configuration, the TS010 carried much more downforce for similar drag levels.
