The Dyson ones do not. So neither the Team Essex nor VM will. I doubt Porsce will be on pace with Audi here. ACO will take measures against that. In the ALMS because of lack of competition in P1 they didn't fully apply P2 rules. The Penskes are actually a full factory team (they get performance updates first and nearly at every race). Privateers won't get that luxury. If you want a comparison of how a privateer will do check out the Dyson team. Even then the Dyson team is a very well drilled and funded privateer. It's nice that the LMS let Audi keep their #1 designation from the ALMS instead of giving it to Peugeot. I guess since they won Le Mans. Also apparently it looks like Porsche has given more performance to the updated GT3.
