Limiting your category of machinery to just one series in the world has worked brilliantly for these classes hasn't it
2003-2013(/-2017) Grand-Am DP+RGT
2010-2011 GT1 World Championship
2012-20XX WEC LMP1-L/Privateer

You sure about that, if F1 has gone towards spec direction ever so more there is no quarantee that the same cannot happen to LMP1, especially now that FIA is so heavily involved again. They are making cost cutting measures already with the limited testing restrictions and such, and with someone like Peugeot recently saying that things would need to be cheaper in order to lure them back in FIA-ACO could be persuaded into spec-ifing some of the aspects of LMP1 as well.
I can see the tires as prime suspect here, not really to make it cheaper for anyone (seeing as everyones on Mics by choice anyway) but to have exclusive supplier $$$ money directed at ACO bank account just like in the other categories now. Which would suck ass.
