The race distance has nothing to do with the technology. F1 is far and beyond anything else in terms of technology.

F1 cars are built for a certain distance, Le Mans cars another.

Bull shit they are production cars, these are not modified road cars, only the roof/glasshouse and lights are production items all the rest is bespoke.
