And, note, they won with a normally aspirated engine.

The same cars (911 RSR) in GTE Pro and GTE Am. Big difference in times and results. Goes to show how 3 pro drivers compare to just 1 or 2.

The factory cars are never completely identical to a customer car and the factory team is also perfectly organized.
It is much easier to lose time during pit stops than to gain it on the track.
So it is quite difficult to compare the results.

What has impressed me the most with factory drivers is not the fact that they can be really fast on one lap during qualification, but they can repeat the same lap time during a complete stint (or a pair).
