My opinion on that matter of LMP2 drivers line-ups is that the ACO should create a system allowing only certain kind of combinations. For example, give each driver rating a "points" equivalent and say that a full 3 drivers line-up should have a maximum of X points.

For instance :
Bronze driver = 1 point
Silver driver = 2 points
Gold driver = 3 points
Platinum driver = 4 points.

Say that 3 drivers line-ups should have a maximum of 7 points when you add them all and you effectively ban too strong combinations like Platinum+Platinum+Silver. You also give more room to gold and silver drivers.

Plus, considering the number of P2 entries managed by very strong teams, I think ACO should allow privately owned and run LMH and LMDH to run for overall honors in ELMS from 2022. That championship being cheaper than the WEC, it would allow teams to put more money in top class cars and drivers with the aim of running for glory at Le Mans as a massive cherry on the cake.
