If the manufacturers get their way in imsa, it might as well be called lmp1-L or whatever. But the aco wants manufacturers in lmp1-h. It's like they're getting a free pass because they don't want to do hybrids. But it is cheaper and easier and they just get to throw their engine in a car and brag. People criticize Nissan for doing this in lmp2. That's another thing that surprises me about the response to this new 'dp'. Imo, it's better than nothing, but it's still just upgraded lmp2 with more powerful engines and useless bodywork. That's why going lmp1-L is a much better proposition for those who like variety.
