Touring cars are the Supercars of Europe. Grunt & size is top priority and the cars race for a couple of hours with their fixed drivers. Blitzing overtakes and fights between cars is what people pay to see. The mad aero helps with keeping them on the ground while attaining those speeds. BoP is very loosely enforced.

GTE cars needs to stay out for 24hrs with abuse & setup matching for 3 drivers. Survival is more important in endurance racing than a short term blitz. You can be 18th on the track but have more total laps than the car in 2nd. Consistency & average speed matters. Moreover BoP is very strict and teams are penalised heavily. Hence, the fastest car in the GTE class can be only as fast as the slowest car. Compensation of power has to be done either through weight or restrictions. Hence grip levels are always high.
