A better aero developed lmp1, pushed by a >700hp engine would mark quite easily 3.21 I guess.

Now, how to slow down toyota by about 6 seconds?
give >950kg, cut ERS to 4MJ, no more cofidential michelin tyres and decrease fuel flow a bit more.
Could be enough?
Maybe. It's kind of a minefield though: The privateers have to be fast enough to make a race of it against Toyota yet not too fast to where they beat Toyota. Toyota spending way more than privateers is also a problem, and probably makes the program unsustainable in its current form — at some point Toyota will ask why are we spending so much more than BM, ByKolles, and the Ginetta team combined to (if the rules are right) barely beat BM, ByKolles, and some Ginettas?
