It's a tough situation. Obviously if you only have 4 LMP1 cars at Portimao and one is a diesel, you either do something or risk a race for second place only.
I firmly believe that the advantage in the regs is minimal now even before this adjustment. What we're simply seeing is the difference between factory and privateer efforts. I class Aston Martin as non-factory because it's a customer programme that needs to break even or run at a minimal loss, whereas Audi and Peugeot are marketing driven projects with massive budgets.
Lets not forget that Audi/Bentley dominated with a petrol car.
The worry is that if we get further petrol breaks, a decent full factory petrol programme comes in (Toyota?) and utterly dominates - could happen...
