The reason why the LMP2s were sped up was to give them more top speed to pass GT cars down the straights. Aside from two high profile driver errors when overtaking GT cars, there were far less incidents/accidents and close calls this year.
I don't exactly agree with giving the LMP2s enough engine power to rival LMP1s in terms of top speeds, but it was a change for the better.
As Audi showed against LMP2 cars in the ALMS and Peugeot showed against Audi, it's easier to overtake and defend down a straightaway than in a corner or in braking.
