If I've got to decide between two classes of car that can be used in a multitude of international championships, and both run at about the same pace, I'm gonna go with the one that's half the price.
In point of fact, when it comes to where you can race a CN car vs an LMP3, there's actually only two places you can run LMP3 and NOT CN right now; ELMS and IMSA Prototype Challenge. Every other series that runs prototype classes has both.
The problem with those guys up front in IMSA, however, is that those speeds have generally been the exception rather than the rule. Only the absolute slowest P3 drivers should be anywhere near the lap times of the slower class. You can bet good money that if this was happening in the Weathertech series, IMSA would be doing something about it.
