What is fundamentally wrong with the LMP2 chassis? They provide outstanding racing in LMP2 form and even better in IMSA DPi form.
Have you watched any of the current DPi races on TV or live? They are my favorite category racing in this country. Spectacular cars to watch. They are great cars and I can't wait to see the next gen. If Porsche didn't want to use (one of four) mandated chassis they could have entered LMh instead for magnitudes more cost which would probably have limited them to ACO. This way they can race IMSA and ACO with the same car for less money. I see this more as the days of customer Group C cars than any devolvement into a spec class. This will allow them, and Audi and others, to sell customer cars as well, which LMh cars are unlikely to do due to costs that non factory teams couldn't afford.
