Reading between all the lines it almost sounds like DPi would be the most sensible option to replace P1 privateer/light if IMSA is willing to open up the chassis constructor limit. That way privateers and manufacturers can compete at LM, WEC and IMSA if they choose to. And not bother the P1 hybrids for the overall wins at both LM and WEC and don't compete directly with the P2s as well.

Earlier today - this thread
So IMSA is trying to come up with a class we and the competitors will like while skating on the edge of ACO rules. ACO is now unhappy with the impurity of the IMSA interpretation. Neither body can really afford to back down. We discuss LMP1-L as a remote possibility and then comes news of an FIA rework of LMP1-l allowing manufacturer engines - just like DPi. Could it be that they are trying to defuse the situation by making DPi a natural fit for LMP1-L? No more issues for ECU, pro lineup, bodywork and now factory engines.
