Speaking of "old cars" - in quotes since we are just talking about 5 year old chassis and engines here - the two SMP LMP2s are now being raced in Masters Endurance Legends historics. And here we have the Asian Le Mans, which, if it would have wanted, could have extended the life of non-spec LMP2s for the next x years with the potential cost and loss of... what was it, nothing? Yes I think that was it. In essence, prevented the historics of being the only place to go anymore, other than maybe Thunderhill.
Perhaps SMP could organize a series of their own for their rejected, bin-thrown LMP2s as well as LMP1 Dallaras?
