So, rather ironically, having been driven out of LMP1 because of the dominance of Audi, some competition is now returning there because the larger factory-backed numbers are now in P2! And hopefully when more numbers return to P1 they'll put the ACO 5% restriction onto P2 and Audi will stop complaining as well?
That, too, might be more of an incentive for Porsche and Acura to go P1 later on, or am I reading things completely the wrong way?
