I remember reading up on this a few months ago, and basically you're talking very minor differences in aero is the only difference in GTLM and true GTE. I even downloaded the PDF spec sheets for both classes and really couldn't figure out what they were talking about, so if someone wanted to run in the GTE class at Le Mans or in WEC, there wouldn't be many changes, which is why the GTLM cars from IMSA can run at Le Mans like the Ferraris and Corvettes.
Porsche is coming back to WEC with a factory backed effort with the new 991 RSRs (or whatever variant they run) so it would be nice if BMW would pony up for a pair of cars but I don't see that happening at all. McLaren too.
