There is test day and a few races before LeMans, plenty of time to make final adjustments.

I understood you, and agree. Some people are being too literal it seems. The CURRENT lmp2's will be slowed down if need be. I emphasize current because the ruleset for these cars are here for another few year. They will probably have the power reduced and/or added weight to make them that much slower than the upcoming hypercar. The 'target' hypercar times of 3:30 is race laps, not qualifying. They'll be as fast as current Super GT GT500's if you do the on-paper math. 750hp and 1100kg (too high imo) with as much downforce as those cars. Current lmp2 is slightly slower than GT500's (at Fuji is the only reference), so imo there's no reason to think lmp2 will be a threat unless every hypercar/lmp1 runs into issues or dnf's or the ACO want to shoot themselves in the foot and have the classes equal.
