The dangerous part is when a LMP2 has to overtake a GTE car, but the only place where the LMP2 car is superior is through the corners. Therefor the LMP2 can be forced to make a risky overtake, which doesn't always end well.
The, by far, safest place to overtake a slower category is down a straight, therefor there needs to be a clear speed differens.
