That category is like Indy Lights with the ages old Dallara chassis.

LMPC have always been seen as grid fillers by majority - and that was their original intention too of course in the US, let's not kid ourselves. LMP3 could be something more
I'll go out on a limb here and say I actually find the class to be entertaining. The last two years at Daytona and Sebring shouldn't cast the class in a negative light. The "regular" races have been pretty good, you get to see some top talent - established pros and up and coming youngsters teamed with guys nice enough to fund the operation. Qualy is especially nice.
