it'd be nice but there's plenty of design avenues to take with lmp2, even if some of the open cockpit ones are starting to look like single seaters with bits tacked on (signatech, i'm looking at you).
with a single seater there's just nothing to vary aside from producing spectacularly fiddly wings and flappy bits for the cars. f3 of around the 2005 vintage had a lot of scope for team lead development and variation but the result was daft budgets. a shame, because that was proper engineering.
they do need to go for a design that's different enough to break the advantage that the old chassis supplier has though, if they want to keep it open to different chassis. imo that's been the stumbling block for f3.
