All of the lightweight technology and turbo-diesels can be tried and has been tried in sportscars at Le Mans. We encourage more cars like the turbines, electrics, hybrids, etc., we just don't encourage single-seater designs pretending to be sportscars. IRL should let them race, I would have no problem with that. The banked turns should keep it from turning on its side in the turns.

I am absolutely with you. I can't see any very advanced new technology on that car besides the vector steering. Aero and all other parts are adopted by other motorsports series.
Le Mans is the crown of sports car racing and this car is not a sportscar. It's a kind of landspeed record car and I don't want to see these cars at Le Mans
