I think it's mostly the new high DF kit. Porsche since 2014 were always running the skinniest wings out of all 3 cars, now that they are on par with audi in that regard, we can see that the tire management is comparable, if not even better for the Porsche. Also another factor is that because they are in the 8mj class they have longer period of time in which they are AWD and that should be an advantage in low grip situations.
