You are correct, there are no announced "official" 2018 LMP1 rules out yet. However from what I understand from interested parties who have been privvy to draft regs from the ACO, current cars would not comply, especially in the moncoque. So unless they do grandfather any current LMP1 privateer or LMP2 chassis in for perhaps a single year, anyone wanting to do P1 privateer, is looking at a brand new chassis.
Supposedly there is going to be some announcement during Le Mans. Common sense would say that the ACO need to be a little bit practical if they want other than maybe only 4 LMP1 cars on the grid in 2018 though. I do not seem to recall that practical common sense has ever been one of the ACO better qualities.
