If you also slow down the petrol powered LMP1s, the speed difference between the different classes will even be smaller.

Diesels had a huge top speed advantage in Le Mans. Remember the highest top speed was around 340 km/h for diesel powered LMP1s, 320 km/h for petrol powered LMP1s and 300 km/h for LMP2s. This discrepancy is being addressed with the 2012 rules.
