I think splitting it is a bad idea. Risk going back to the ALMS days with 4-6 car classes, where a podium may not mean that much.

Because of a class split you can have races on the calendar where DPI runs a and LMP2 does not now. Maybe LMP2 will only have an 8 race schedule like LMPC did.
Half the lmp2 teams can't even race every round anyway so I don't think a split is a bad idea. They should just speed them up to privateer lmp1 speeds and open up the entries to them for the NAEC. I suggested this in the beginning. Of course they're not going to listen to a couple internet posts but it looks like the split is happening, so why not?
