Apparently the Lotus Evora GTE was build to the regulations, it didn't need any waivers. But the engine was crap, which meant the results were crap. The 'factory' team only used it for 1 year in WEC. Alex Job Racing used it the year after in ALMS and the factory team competed with it in the International GT Open.

In the beginning of the year HTP Motorsport said they might bring a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to the TUSC GTD class later in the year. No idea what the current state of their plan is.

The Lamborghini GT3's aren't made by Lamborghini. They're made by Reiter Engineering, a privateer. Only since last year Lamborghini is providing some (extra) support. Before last year it was basicly all up to Reiter if they want to run their cars in other series/markets. Lamborghini's are competing in PWC this year though.
