last year ratel basically told them that a full backed work team like m-sport doesn't fit well with the gtworld/gt3 spirit... so m-sport retired and this year there is K-Pax that is however a full supported team since there are drivers like soulet, gounon, souceck and parente.
It's a huge gray zone... is ok for a private team to be officially supported by a manufacturer with work engineers and drivers becoming actually a semi/full official tem, it's a no no if a manufacturer directly deploys a full official team.
This kind of situations have always been in ratel championshipd... WRT is from years de facto an audi sport official team, most of all during spa 24H, or over 10 years ago during FIA GT champ vitaphone racing was clearly backed by ferrari/maserati against corvette and saleen teams that barely could get a season budget.
