The P1 Acura's were built with the tracks used in the ALMS in mind... The huge front wheels are a disadvantage at a track like Le Mans. The downforce created by that front end would be counterproductive to a Le Mans set up. I'm not saying they wouldn't be competitive, but I don't think they could have kept up on the straights, they gain there time through the corners, Le Mans has way to many straights for the Acura LMP1.
But the LMP2 car would have made the P2 battle a whole lot more fun to watch....
