Not everything has to be a conspiracy to make things worse, y'know.
And tbh, I don't fancy the proposed direction for P2 in 2017. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and ELMS are proving that for the last couple of years.

GT500 car being little slower or about as equally fast as privateer P1, faster than any LMP2 and 15-25 seconds faster than top LMGTE would make the ACO cars look slow ass. Of course it would. And why do you think when AsLMS had that one off Super GT integration they only had GT300 there...
After 2005 new-GT1s (and GT2s in less extent) as a class were slowed down year after year by restrictor and weight penalties to make up space for LMP2, check your own facts. Just because their lap times were up in 2008 tells you nothing thanks to track upgrades and stuff
(also #6)).
It's not "conspiracy", it's clearly what they desire to have in the race, any idiot can see it.
Your last paragraph makes little sense considering they ARE changing it quite a bit from what we have now.
