This is a great discussion. It is faster than an LMP2. Ah, but it is slower than another. What insight!
All the cars are constrained by the rules. Change the aero, power, tyres, whatever on GT, LMP or garage 56 and they could be faster or slower. If you have problem with garage 56 because of this, then you have a problem with all the grid. The point is that with a very different design (power, weight, aero, track) it can be there or there abouts. Interestingly.
There is no danger of all LM cars looking like this, rest easy. However is does show that the current rules aren't the only way to crack an egg. I'm surprised that those who naturally whinge haven't picked this up to add weight to the view that sportscar racing could be improved in all categories.
It is garage 56, it isn't meant to be the same. Equally the rationale that it isn't new technology doesn't stack up either, it is never going to be completely new technology. Even fuel cell isn't. The ACO wouldn't let it race if there wasn't some background.
