It's FIA's fault for giving the Porsche the turbo restrictor.
Sort of like adding a weights to a car to slow it down.

Used to be a GT1 class car.
Not to make any excuses but just like with their new 911 road car
they are really going away from traditions. Not only in design but
in mass production.
Shame, real shame.
