SMP may be frustrated by recent developments, but I'm not sure how sensible their approach has been - seemingly investing a huge amount of money in developing the "Ideal LMP2 Car" in the knowledge that it would be obsolete after a couple of seasons anyway. Not sure I have a lot of sympathy for them.

That is quite a senseless and unnecessary statement. Paolo Catone received the final okay for the LM2 development in January 2014 and work started in February. At this time there was not the slightest sign of the ACO plans. SMP wanted to design a car purely for LMP2 and not transfer a LMP1 design to LMP2. So what is wrong on this plans.
Now they have burned a lot of money and there treated like idiots by the ACO. But be sure they will come back with some more. Likely a P1.
