dagger to the heart of the purists?

id consider myself a purist....but i love the concept of LMDh.

i remember Le Mans from the 70s through to the 90s, there was lots of sharing chassis, engine combos, customer cars from large manufacturers and not only was the racing pure, it was great!

If you look at some of the best cars in history, they werent made by a major manufacturer, they were made by a small chassis constructor and had a manufacturer engine installed. the 333SP, Lola Aston, Panoz GTR/LMP1, Peugoets etc etc...LMDh is no different

what, as a purist i do dislike is the EOT element, it has blighted sportscar racing since hybrid came in...and to a lesser extent when diesels first appeared in the mid 2000s.

I just hope they can come up with a sensible EOT/BOP, going into races knowing a car cant win because of a handicap is not fun
