Indeed the money required to run in LMP1 is rather high. However that doesn't change anything I said. P1-L is meant for private teams. Not werks or works or manufacturer funded. Private teams either building there own car or buying a chassis. As soon as you allow DPi entries then you're going to have teams like Mazda, Nissan and semi works GM teams lining up for entries in a class that they aren't meant to be in.
Once again, DPi is a fine concept. But it's trying to achieve a different thing to P-1L. DPi is wanting manufacturer involvement for cheap. P-1L is wanting privateers to build there own cars. These concepts are not directly compatible as a single class.
