How is it irrelevant?

Races are won and lost on fine margins.

We'll have to disagree on balance-of-performance being "very good"!

IMO classes without BoP are much better. I would have suggested LMP racing in both WEC and IMSA take on LMP2 rules, just with multiple 4.0 V8 engines and multiple chassis (Ferrari, Toyota etc). So any privateer can buy the homologated works engines and works chassis for a low fixed price. By folding the two classes together, you could have a single LMP class too.

If that means 40x Ferrari-Ferrari instead of 25x Oreca-Gibson, that is totally fine... It would still deliver an incredible race IMO.
