It's as level as it can be.

The Champion Audi that won Le Mans this year was heavily restricted in comparison to how it runs in the ALMS. In short, teams competing at Le Mans that do not comply to the current regulations will have their car restricted (or not be allowed to compete). In fact, Champion could not run their R8 next year at Le Mans at all IIRC. This pretty much only applies to LMP1 and LMP2.

GT1 and GT2 is pretty much the same set of rules on both sides. Of course in the ALMS teams like ACEMCO did get a few small tweaks to make them competitive with the likes of Pratt & Miller. But if ACEMCO were to come to Le Mans then they would have to run the proper restrictor size and probably a different rear wing.

The proposed Japan series will be allowing older machinery in the early stages of the championship in an attempt to attract larger grids.
