The way I read his explanatory tweet is that he is considering setting chassis regs so that dimensions, seating, visibility all match current FIA P1 standards.
Theoretically this would allow re-engined non-hybrid P1 cars (e.g. Rebellion R1 with a stock-block Toyota motor,) and would also allow factories to build a single FIA prototype chassis for P1 and P2.
Audi, Toyota, and Porsche could sell customer cars with essentially GTE/GT3 (or whatever the GT+ motors will be) motors to both carry the corporate flag and inflate the corporate coffers.
P2 Penske Porsche, anyone?
All that seems really sensible to me, which makes me think I got it wrong.
