That's the conflict here. How much of this discrepancy is down to EOT, how much is it down to factory vs privateer?
I think it's a bit unrealistic for a private team, no matter how good, to be on the pace of Toyota without a load of BOP/EOT help. But I also believe that the ACO were unrealistic when it came to their expectations of pace. The problem I have is that they should've had this info as early as the WEC Prologue.
Either the people who write the rules are incompetent, had an agenda, or simply messed up, albeit big time. Which of those depends on who's camp you fall into.
