I think the reason why the ACO want to have LMP1-L is to ensure there are a number of top class cars in the event of some works teams pulling out. If some bean counters took over at VAG and threw a fit after seeing what they spend on racing and chopprd the whole thing, where would LMP1 be?
The ACO needs a strong private class for when the manufacturers go as they always do. At the moment LMP1-L does not have the numbers but I can see the logic of the class, as LMP2 would only be a stop gap in the event of a manufacturer pull out whereas LMP1-L could be built upon.
