I think the the biggest thing that has made Le Mans more and more exciting in recent years as a 'race' is the ability to run flat out for the whole 24 hours. Before the arrival of Audi most races were still run to a pace and the car with the least trouble won.
Now the top cars in each class (p1 and GT especially) have to run flat out and race the whole time so the victory comes down to the drivers and the teams strategy which makes the whole thing more exciting throughout.
The reality is that the ultimate pace of the cars are no faster than they were 25 years ago due to the restrictons and rule changes
