Because P-1s reach a higher terminal velocity and their engine/drivetrain (usually) weigh more. In an impact there is more force at the impact site and more inertia developed by the drivetrain, so higher crush rates are standard for P-1. But that does not mean that P-2 tubs will not pass P-1 testing, in fact several P-2 tubs already meet P-1 testing standards as the tub is the same in both models/chassis.
L.P.
