Well, I do agree with you there. Never understood why Henri was so content on running in LMP1 when he very clearly didn't have the budget to do so. P2 seems like it should have been such a bigger attraction for that team but I guess stubborn ol'Henri wanted to play with the big dogs in the F1 Lites class for the overall victory. Perhaps his close loss in 2005 drove him to attempt to win Le Mans as a team beyond realistic expectations?
As for list sizes, in other classes teams come and go. For the most part in LMP1 post-2008, teams go.
