Entrant to supply the body kit with homologated aero kit (ie the full body is homologated to predetermined targets (drag, front lift, rear lift, whatever else is considered important).

Isn't this exactly the same as what they have now (except with two engines instead of one)?

I absolutely do
not prefer that, especially when Gen 3 took away any remaining variety of different headers and different engine sounds from team to team.
It's so much better to hear the wailing flat-six Porsches and the V10 Audis and so on and so forth. Cars that not just sound different, but look different and are genuinely different underneath (engines in the front, middle and back!). Just as it was good to see the variety of cars in Group C & Group A (if dominated by Ford Sierras somewhat in later years, though the gloriously loud aforementioned Jaguar XJSes are still amongst the Sierras in historics!).
Having a lack of driver aids is correct for Gen 3, but having different wheelbases and different types of engines (with BOP instead of parity) is absolutely crucial to avoid a series of Americana of Detroit coupes only.
