Im in two minds if im honest. On one hand i feel like why change something thats working right now? and on the other id like to see different constructors in the class. However if im reading the article correctly it seems like Oreca will still be the chosen car IF they dont make a complete dog.

Why not just keep what we have now but introduce the BOP process?

I think the lower costs of parts would be a great thing though, thats very important.

My conclusion from the article is that it will be 2027 at earliest. Hey I mean its LMP2, Its not exactly a needle mover in sportscars anyway. WEC is doing great without it and I like the series much better without. Long Beach and Laguna Seca shows IMSA does not really need it either.

It funds teams and allows drivers to progress. Without that step racing has a huge jump from club to pro. The delusion is strong with ignoring what lmp2 brings to series and those making a living on racing
