Maybe with ByKolles, but didn't the success penalties in the sprint races show quite clearly that balancing the R13 and even Ginetta to the level of TS050 (or rather, dumbing down the TS050 to the level of others) isn't THAT hard if you start taking ludicrous steps

Also next year, when the P1(s) are bought down to the level of LMH, that will go to the point where LMP1 is no longer operating at it's "optimal window" and therefore there's the chance of parts starting to break apart. The difference will be larger than it was between 2010/2011 LMP1 transition and grandfathered chassis like Pescarolo continuing. And the R13 was never that reliable in the first place, at least at the 24 Hours
