    Spyker did the same thing with their recent GT2 racer. Their team boss explained to me that any displacement larger than 4 litres would be less competitive because of the restrictors.

    All 49 cars lined up at Le Mans this year were equipped with restrictors. It allows for the field to be as equal as possible despite running a wide variety of engine configurations and displacements. That's why the 7 litre Corvettes lapped so close to the 6 litre Astons.
