Just bringing this one back because I missed it when it was originally posted. Like the idea of having production looking based prototypes. Seems similar to the mid-late 90's McLaren/Porsche/Mercedes.
Caps allow an even playing field. One of the problems with the ALMS era and P1/LMP1 class cars were the budgets. I would have like to have seen some of the smaller privateer teams with equivalent machinery as Audi. They put up a good fight but couldn't compete with the larger reserves. Seems like without caps, one manufacturer comes in and spends to win which kills the field.
Never understood the whole hybrid thing. Didn't seem to make the racing any better and don't really think it saved that much fuel. Diesel was the same thing. The inaudible whoosh of the Audi's on track as they passed wasn't as exciting as hearing a Porsche or Aston scream by.
Just my .02 cents.
