As soon as you allow DPi entries then you're going to have teams like Mazda, Nissan and semi works GM teams lining up for entries in a class that they aren't meant to be in.
Once again, DPi is a fine concept. But it's trying to achieve a different thing to P-1L. DPi is wanting manufacturer involvement for cheap. P-1L is wanting privateers to build there own cars. These concepts are not directly compatible as a single class.

I'll just highlight this in the post. It is still baffling as to why the concept of it does not get through! The DPi concept REQUIRES the team to buy it through an ACO approved constructor, not a manufacturer.
L.P.
