Say up to 2 litres and 800kg
up to 3 litres and 1200kg
up to 4 litres and 1600kg
The exact details could be thrashed out with some research - but you get the idea so that in theory all cars would have a similar power to weight ratio, none would have wings an overall win might come from any class.
Its all fantasy of course as the ACO is firmly wedded to prototypes preferably french built with french drivers and painted blue .
Pity we don't have our own 24 hr race for sports cars in UK (at Snetterton )

Fantasy? Phew, thank goodness for that.
I'd love to see a 24 hour sportscar race in England, at Snett or anywhere else. It wouldn't stop me and tens of thousands of others going to Le Mans though......
But I wouldn't bother going to Le Mans to watch your three categories, I'm afraid. I'd possible still go to France, but I'd stay in the bar.......
