Pescarolo was an also-ran at LM each year his team raced there from 2000-2004 before 2005 and '06, even if he was the best of the rest in 2000, and '04-08. He was also basically downgraded to also-ran status after Peugeot showed up.

Also, since the stuff the ACO tried with the aero packages on LMP1 cars didn't slow them down in terms of laptime, what else can the ACO do? They can't take away anymore top end power, and doing more aero stuff would just be stupid because we've already seen Porsche and Toyota get back what they tried to take away.

Only thing I can see them do is increase minimum weight. But then I think that maybe, unless the LMP1s still have straight line acceleration over the LMP2s, the LMP2s might get pegged back on top end.
