I think this will be the justification given for the inevitable move towards one chassis post-2026 as well. Hopefully the LMDh considerations will level the playing field for LMP2 somewhat.

I've just dug out the old episode. It's noticeable how much daily sports car and radio le mans used to work together. Shame they don't seem to any more.
