Nothing says a 2016 LMP2 has to be slower than a 2008 LMP1. After all a 2008 LMP1 was over 5 seconds a lap faster than a 2002 one and the current LMP2 cars are faster than the old WSCs that raced SR1 in Grand Am. WEC P2 cars would probably set lower lap times than the R8s did, although the track should be a little faster now with all the extra pavement.
