I think Toyota has made it plainly clear privateers can't compete for overall victories. They have built a gasoline car, and made it competitive with the Audis.

I find it funny people are still mentioning the "petrol" class in LMP1 while not mentioning the Toyotas.

So, how about giving the privateers something to race for? How about a LMP Privateer and LMP Pro/Manufacturer class.

Gasoline engine or diesel, a privateer has no chance of competing in LMP1 unless they are given a current factory spec LMP like Oreca in 2010.

So the classes can perhaps look like this

LMP1 Factory
LMP1 Privateer
LMP2
GT Pro
GT AM

Maybe LMP2 and LMP Privateer can merge into one class.
