And we've already seen how ACO and IMSA agenda pushing has messed things up. Just look at LMP2 and DPI integration at LM that never happened.
That was mostly on IMSA giving in to GM. ACO wanted all LMP2 and DPIs to run the same basic Cosworth/Gibson ECUs. GM wanted to run the same Bosch ECUs that the Corvette DP used in the Cadillac DPI. IMSA let GM have their way and opened up the flood gates on that one.
Not to mention that IMSA allowed DPI cars R&D beyond what the ACO envisioned for LMP2.
Not that the ACO are faultless because LMP2 is damn near a spec Oreca show because even though LMP2 rules allow for BOP, the ACO never implemented it. Which on the economy of scale has allowed Oreca to charge the max price under the cost cap and make significant profits.
