Seriously hope the ACO / FIA tells TUSC where to go on this one.

I agree. If manufacturers want brand recognition, there's GT racing. Prototype bodywork design should be about performance only. I think having the current LMP2 designs (Dome, HPD, Ligier) is much more interesting than having a prototype that remotely looks like a Corvette or some other road car.
