Anyhow, so do you think, if the ELMS allowed (privateer) LMP1s again, that you would be able to pull of theoretical budget estimate for that (+ Le Mans) and still have the same ROI as with WEC? Battle for overall wins in regional series and do oneoff fight against the factories at Sarthe. Maybe create customer market.
Though I don't think anything's gonna change in that front - ELMS reallowing anything else than LMP2 as lead class again that is - unless teams start making queries to ACO about it.
Because everything is second tier, third tier, full on pro-am, spec, bop, cost cap, freezed. The big feature attractions are missing.

If we raise enough money to get us to the start line we will begin with a feasibility study. While we are still developing and racing our hybrid car P 4/5 C we are given pause that the huge effort that began with a Superbowl Add ended in tears for a major manufacturer. While we could go hybrid the money need is VERY, VERY unlikely to be raised by a privateer and we do believe under the 2018 rules an LMP1 L would have a fair shot.
