The class balance doesn't work because they either don't want it to or don't care if it doesn't, I don't see how you can think they can get GT cars to lap together at whatever arbitrary speed but they just can't fathom they need to slow a car down in P.

Just take Daytona as its own microcosm. At the Roar the order was Cadillac>Acura>Nissan>Mazda>ORECA>Ligier. So what did they do? They slightly slowed the Cadillac, gave the Acura more fuel, and sped up the Nissan and Mazda (which were actually lapping at the same speeds as the LMP2s). Now in what crazy universe does do anything to address the speed deficit for the LMP2 cars? How can anyone pretend to be surprised that the race was a DPi freight train with LMP2 in their own separate race?

"Development" is just the new buzzword excuse, because apparently claiming every LMP2 team in the world is just incompetent wasn't working.
