Quote from ACO website: Le Mans prototype 1 (“LM” P1) : open or closed car weighing a minimum of 900 kilos which replaces the “LM” P 900 and “LM” GTP. This category is the only one which can lay claim to victory in the general classification of the “24 Heures du Mans”.
Does this mean that if a GTS or LMP2 (LMP750) car finishes first and an LMP1 (LMP900) finishes second or fifth, then they'll swap the order so that the LMP900 car is the overall winner? It sounds crazy to me. Certainly there are always some 900 cars well down the field, and if the top 900 cars drop out it would mean some also-ran lapping in 18th place could be declared the winner! Unlikely I admit, but it would somewhat ruin the ACO's credibility. Does anybody else think this a little strange?
