If the 007 is somewhat competitive against the big OEMs, that could theoretically entice the Koenigseggs of the world to have a go, perhaps even with a homologated road car. Then we'd see Hypercar the way it was intended to be.

Worst case scenario is turn-key LMDh cars get a favourable BoP and prototype racing as we knew it is over, because why bother construct a prototype when you can be guaranteed competitiveness in what is effectively a generic mass product that was designated to be a benchmark?

Sad but true.^
