Don't know anything about the home built R8, that's a bit of a mystery, with a few first gen R8 LMS on the secondhand market surely it'd be easier to buy one of them?

That R8 is the old Düchting car, that predates the introduction of the GT3-spec version.
Also, by running the homebuild you get into the SP8 class, where the competition is usually a lot less cutthroat than in SP9. So it becomes easier for somewhat competent amateur drivers to score a win or a podium. Finishing without problems is sometimes enough to guarantee the latter.
