With IMSA GTD content, they have to license from both the series and the manufacturers... the cars cost them more than the LMs...

As for the budget that you mentioned, my guess is that while the cars and running the teams are more expensive in LM, a lot of that cost probably has to do with logistics. IMSA GTD is run in North America. No overseas shipping. No customs and EXIM fees moving things across boarders. Then there is airfare for team travel, different tax treatments, entry fees may be more expensive, consumables may cost more than IMSA (Tires, Fuel, etc.), insurance may cost more.... There is a lot of reasons that LM budget could be 10x more than IMSA GTD.
