At Le Mans now, Rebellion is basically able to do the same lap times as the factory run Lola Aston Martins with big engines were. While simultaneously the very top LMP2 pace has lowered by around five seconds. So now the gap is actually bigger than it used to be 5-6 years ago at the end of non-slowened non-costcap non-proam regulations.
Maybe not outside LM but whatever. The Oreca 04/R-One seems hyper optimized for Le Mans. Oreca 05 too (they've even admitted on it being built with the circuit in mind), but not quite to the same extent. Though obviously bigger powerplant has advantage at such fast circuit so bigger gap than at clone tilkedromes is only logical.
