hmmm, if you look at it purely in a simplistic view then sure, they're the same. But the regulations aren't. LMDh is a BoP system, whilst LMP1 is success ballast now, but wasn't BoP before. LMDh won't be having 8MJ systems, whilst LMP1 is.

By pulling back the engine and hybrid regulations to LMDh/DPi levels, rather than LMP1, you bring it back in the range of non-manufacturers.
