No trade off! IMSA does not have a P-1 class, it's top 'P' class is aligned with P-2.
The ACO are struggling to provide incentive enough for privateers to subscribe to P-1l (mainly cost), as the new P-2 are compliant to their new regs it would behoove the ACO IMO to adopt the DPi formula concept to populate their P-1l class. I do not believe it needs be an exact duplication of IMSA's, but, it would better suit the ACO's customers if it were to be compatible with it. Either an uptick for the IMSA DPis to compete at Le Mans or a slight de-tune for P-1l to race in IMSA rounds. Fairly simple and certainly doable if the ACO wish to, but we all know how that goes....
And yes, we ALL know you loathe the idea.
L.P.
