It's a false narrative imo. No one is FORCING them to spend that much. Just like no one forced Audi and Porsche to spend over 100, 200 million. What they're doing in DPi right now is hardly different to what they could do in the future rules. Take a chassis and add unique bodywork to it. Oreca has already said they look forward to doing a car. ByKolles wants to do a car etc. There's no way those guys spend 30 million. When I read articles like that on racer.com I shake my head. They want to go to Le Mans with modified lmp2s? Why don't you go to Le Mans with modified GTP's or whatever the cars will be? I don't feel like the ACO should let them run DPi's unless they want to try their hand in a privateer lmp1 class.
