LMP1 should have rules that would make customer cars an option again. Have OEMs building cars that customer teams car buy and run. OEMs could still run their factory teams. That way private teams could get some competitive cars, an LMP1 program would make more sense in financial terms for OEMs, and the class would have more cars.

Probably would need more then one series to run them in to be financially viable, but otherwise that seems like a solid proposal.
