I think people just need to look back at the R8 days and early R10 era where Audi (much like Toyota now) were the only major fully OEM backed organization taking on privateer teams with a very small fraction of their budget and R&D capabilities. And we also have to accept that at least 9 times out of 10 that in such a situation that the factory team will destroy the competition. And the bigger the stage, the bigger the gap.
