I hear and see all the arguments regarding pace, the 'what ifs', the 'yes buts', but ultimately, a clean run from a Porsche was enough to undo Audi, because of things which I would file under 'not prepared'.

I don't buy this 'unprepared story' a bit, if there is race traditionally they prepare the most is Le Mans... only this year was not to be Audi's year (call it ghosts, bad luck, whatever, and perhaps human error in bad tires choices by more than 1 set change is at play, or perhaps they didn't have tires for unexpected daylight winter like temperatures and moister at night, and had to adapt, and this human error and or adapting is part of the race)... again... no team can win always.
