ALMS "levels the field" with intake restrictors and added weight. It is anything but "heads up" racing. In such an environment, the sanctioning body decides who wins and by how much. Remember the last time Porsche won Daytona with a GT car, and the smaller tanks along with added weight and rev limiters they got for their trouble. Different sanctioning body, but same approach. Porsche is already making noise that they may not return next year in P2, if ALMS severely restricts the RS Spyder in an effort to keep the R8 out front. So, could the current RSR beat the Ferrari? Sure, if the ALMS wants it to. Will the next, improved Porsche beat Ferrari? Only if ALMS wants it to.
