Arguably we don't know if Ligier or Dallara can do any better either because the Joker upgrade system isn't representative of how real development works. Upgrade packages can't be developed or tested - you need to nail it first time. That isn't how to get the best result. It worked best for ORECA because they didn't have to nail it first time - the car had been through several generations of development as the previous generation and R-One.
ORECA was the only company which got a traditional development cycle for the LMP2s. Everyone else just had to suck it up. The results are evidence of that.
