Akrapovic, certainly, not directly, though I doubt word of coming developments doesn't filter around the FIA. They can still make decisions based on rumblings of what appears likely to happen.
Chiana, yes, I'd probably give a slight edge to the cars being raced in terms of importance in the equation. Still, I'd regard the circuits as a near-equal component of the whole package.
I'm not sure what you think is so terrible about the regs in their entirety. The "balancing" in LMP1 is out of hand, and I might have preferred they try to figure out how to uprate the LMP2s alongside the DPIs, but I'm not going to throw the whole thing out.
