Who cares if the top class runs 3:15 or 3:30, the issue here is the mess the ACO have made of the relative speeds of the classes. The latest knee jerk reaction of more weight, less downforce and less power could have been mandated months ago, or even announced at the same time as the unified LMH/LMDh regs.
Agreed on not necessarily being fussed about the average laptime. But I get the feeling they will continue to neuter the track regardless of what the stopwatch says.
