gregtummer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Most of these accidents between LMP1s and GTs are the unintended consequences of taking away horsepower from the LMP1s.

The standard line of thinking is that "we'll take away LMP1s horsepower, they won't go as fast down the straights, and will be safer." But what has happened now, is that instead of waiting to pass on a straight, the LMP1s have to divebomb the slower GT cars to keep their momentum up through the turns and carry that momentum onto the straights. Hence why we are seeing these accidents.
