Default I think you misspoke
"And yes the privateer race teams seem to just have a huge advantage..."

I think you meant to say that the FACTORY teams have a huge advantage. Privateers are doing this from thier own pockets and have to try to get sponsors to help out. WIthout a lot of money you are very limited in how much you can improve your car and buy spares.
Factory teams get factory support, parts and money. A LOT of it. Audi gives the Champion group something like $50k per race!
Privateers that can make a car even remotely competitive with a Fcatory team are rare.
