GTE and LMP3 cars really do not mix well with their current performance windows, it's not enjoyable to be in a race with them.

(...in FP2...) Two laps later I caught a P3 car and he started blocking me to keep from overtaking him. I hit him coming out La Source (on the exit!) as he tried to block me again. That's the first time I damaged the RSR -- both front corners and the nose in one session. But, some of the prototype drivers only understand it when they get hit.

I mentioned these as I think you are wrong in not expecting problems in ELMS-GTE vs. P3 in its current state. I'm curious as to what the ELMS will do with the unleashed "new" GTEs wrt P3/class balance. P3 as the trailing cars of the field? Or boost the P3s so they're back in the mix with GTEs?
