A better aero developed lmp1, pushed by a >700hp engine would mark quite easily 3.21 I guess.

Well, let's put it this way; Though all speeds were slower in 2016, the ByKolles car qualified 8 seconds short of the faster Rebellion. So three seconds is a figure that a well developed P1-L could have over ByKolles in the current rules. I figure it would probably be more like 5-6 seconds.
And that's my estimation with no changes to the regs. Give the P1-Ls a little less weight and some more power I could see an additional couple seconds knocked off the Le Mans lap time, so you may only need to slow the Toyotas by 3 or 4 seconds - maybe only two.
