Just rejoined MAX for this... watching hyperpole now, gonna be a good w/e with 24h + Canada F1..
Gotta ask, each year... Does anyone truly really care about LMP2 ? I know, I know, gentleman drivers, rung up the ladder to LMP1 etc...
But honestly, wouldn't Le Mans and WEC /IMSA be better off with just the top dogs and the GT3 cars ?
The LMP1 are fantastic tech, top of the tree, top manufacturers... The GT cars we can all relate to, the porsches, BMWs, Astons, Ferraris.. known quantity, translates to street..
LMP2 though ? Oreca? Gibon, who cares ? All they do is get in the way, have a weird format (small, not super pretty, identical, not fast enough sometimes vs GT cars).. if there is a strong following of LMP2 here please educate me, I can't see why they exist.. Their departure would mean more room for the top dogs and the GTs IMO... Also less accidents with a clearer division of speed between protos and GTs... As its own series to graduate to LMP1 OK maybe, but yawn....I'd think gentlemen drivers could drive GTs. Go ahead, send me under my rock.
