The gap between the winning Audi R18 e-tron quattro and the second placed Toyota TS030 at the Silverstone Six hours was just over 55 seconds at the chequered flag. Both the Audi and Toyota had faultless runs during the six hour race - only a stop/go penalty for the Audi meant that it lost 27 or 28 seconds on that lap.
The following tables are hopefully self-explanatory, if not please let me know.
First for Audi number 1 of André Lotterer, Benoît Tréluyer and Marcel Fässler, which had eight driving stints separated by seven pitstops.

Note stints four and five, which should really be counted as a single stint, since the pitstop which separated them was the stop/go penalty.

I'm not going to offer any further comment (here), but the Toyota's faster average lap time and the Audi's faster (and fewer) pitstops provided a tremendous race at Silverstone and promises much for Brazil, Bahrain, Japan and China.
