I've run the Audi R10 in the Indy 500 on Racing Hard tires and won. It was a battle throughout, but I won. I changed the suspension settings and I don't have them at hand, but I know that I put full downforce on. Anything else and the back just got too twitchy too fast. A bump from a competitor, especially with worn tires, and the car would snap into a spin before I knew what happened (of course, I use the DS3, so that doesn't help.)

Anyway, I ran two 23 and seven 22 lap stints with the tires, and as long as you keep the car settled and don't do anything stupid to get yourself into trouble you'll be fine. My average lap was probably right at 44.000 with a fastest lap in the low 42s. Anything that'll do 9 stops and 44 flat should win it...you might even be able to with 10 stops.

I can't speak as to the fuel economy question, but chaosdd made a good point regarding that.

For an in-depth look at another of my races in the same car at Indy, check this thread. It was a loss, but largely through my own fault, and was extremely similar to my win in terms of my setup and lap times, etc. The only major differences were an increase in rear downforce and switching from 10 to 9 stops.
 
Audi R10 and the 908 run at correct specs. IRL the R8 and all other LMP's are wrong.
 
You can do some benchmark tests, f.e. use the Audi R10 & the Peugot 908, both fully tuned (important: check what gives you a better lap time, turbo 2 or turbo 3), both tuned with the help of GT5 Quick Tune, both limited to lets say 600pp or 550pp. All aids off (except ABS: 1) & use racing medium tires.

Now go on an challenging track with a lot of low/mid speed corners, f.e. Spa, Grand Valley, Trial Mountain or Deep Forrest. Do some laps & compare the best lap times. I bet the 908 is maybe 2 seconds faster. :D

I tried both cars months ago at the online Ring challenge, 350pp (?) on comfort tires. And what can I say, the Audi didn't very well. Too twitchy, more tire spin & the 908 just felt like it had some sort of a hidden driving aid. :crazy:

Yes. Also worth pointing out that the 2010-spec Peugeot was the fastest 908 to (then) date, which dominated the race until engine failures took them out.
 
I forgot to mention in my previous post that I won the Indy 500 with the R10 without a turbo installed.

It's not that underpowered. ;)
 
I have the car as well and it's not powerful i prefare the Mazda 787B
