Current P1's are around the pace of a late 80's, early 90's F1 car.
The pace of top prototype cars was capped when the 3.5l 905 and TS010 arrived, since the aim has been reliability and efficiency, to the point were a current P1 car can run qualifying pace for 24hr's.
F1, in the face of cutting costs and safety, will never be quicker than '05-'08 cars, in fact they'll likely slow.
What you have to realise is both F1 and LMP cars could both be much quicker than the rulemakers allow, that being the case, I personally favour the ACO's 2011 onwards policy of small, efficient engines, and a free hand for alternative technologies.
