Fine, I'll spell it out. Waiting another 2 and a half years, or whatever, for that to happen isn't good enough. A P1 petrol car is NOT going to have the pace under the current rules. If nothing else, even if the petrol car can equal Audi and Peugeot in horsepower, it will NOT be a match for the diesels in torque or in the power/torque curve/band. WHEN Audi sort out their handling issues (if they haven't already), a petrol P1 will NOT be any faster in the turns, like P2s are, because a P1 is too heavy to do that due to the rules for the class.

And I'll throw this out there. The commentators for SPEED's Mosport coverage said the Highcroft car at least is noticeably overweight, so I'm starting to wonder just how much difference the ACO rule changes will have.
