Dyson drifted far away from the recommended setup for the Spyders. Those cars were highly complicated and they had to "Dyson-ize" it and it didn't quite work.

Go back over some of the 2007 and 2008 races, Calvin Fish mentioned this several times.
Cytosport developed their own setup and it worked quite well at Lime Rock. And with Penske being the "factory team", does one really think that a private team with the same car will get the exact same equipment? I don't think so, and that's in the Porsche tradition.

Back on topic, IMSA did the rules stabiltiy deal from '04-'06 with some performance balancing in '06. I doubt that this will get the ACO to throw out their proposed 2011 rules package, besides, they're already proposing rules for 2014/15 and don't even have the offical 2011 rules published yet!

Sometimes, I think that IMSA's talking to a wall with the ACO, who seem to forget that rules developed for a single 24 hour race don't always work for a multi-race sprint race series, and maybe the issues with the LMS might be convincing them of that fact.
