Privateer teams did finish 1-2 at Sebring, but aside from that, things have been pretty dismal for privateers in P1 when going up against the might of Audi and Peugeot.
Privateers will rarely challenge manufactuers, even with the same machinery.

Group C was unsustainable without manufactuers, Spice were the only chassis constructor, and the engine side was equally limited. Today Lola, ORECA, Zytek and more produce great chassis, with multiple engine suppliers, the infrastructure for prototype racing is far more developed.
