Make no mistake, there is only one prototype category left in the world that is neither spec or quasi spec. That is LMP1. It is the only remaining category that truly deserves a title of PROTOTYPE.

(Maybe also CN but I'm not entirely familiar with the concept and how it is going right now with P3 and some other spec concepts taking away the little market space there was left)
The only thing that rivals lmp1's freedom is pikes peak unlimited class I am interested to see what that electric VW looks like though.
