I for one do not want P-1L to turn into a playground for manufacturers like Mazda and Nissan who don't want to invest in the series like Toyota and VAG have. You can argue P-1H is too expensive, and you may be right. But that's because it's ground breaking and pushing the boundary of technology, rather than making funny shaped cars advertised with hashtags or an old defunked prototype with an engine taped in. DPi will be great in the states. It isn't needed in WEC. If P-1L dies then it dies. DPi isn't the fix the ACO is looking for.

Choke, die, what is the difference? Who is the entitled one? So evidently P-1l is just to much trouble for the ACO to care about. So be it, let it die! Onward and upward, who cares.....
