Not that "racing heritage" makes a big difference, but this will be changing next year with the new GT3-R, which will run a variant of the 9A1 DFI engine from the 991 GT3RS street car at Daytona in a factory-supported effort:

Speaking to Sportscar365, Head of Porsche Motorsport Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser confirmed that the heavily revised GT3 model, based off the new road-going 911 GT3 RS, will not race this year, with all efforts now around a debut in Florida next January.
