DPi is not a success, yet. It has one race under it's belt and that was not very good. The Caddies were like the diesel Audi's vs the rest of the alms grid. Bop is also a topic of debate and we don't know how that will factor in on future entries. I see lmp1 growing more than dpi honestly. Even if it is just private teams. Toyota, Porsche, Manor and Kolles plus one more team (a Ginetta or SMP Dallara) equals the total of current dpi's. The sky is not falling, and the silly idea that it is makes me chuckle.
I wonder how your tune would sound if Toyota fielded a DPi.

It's plain to see from anyone that the Toyota group is all you care about.
