My thought exactly! I really really hope this is where ACO is heading with the LMP2-spec'ifying. Get ESM, SMP, Strakka and one or two more to run ELMS LMP1 instead and we might actually get the privateer/customer market rolling in LMP1 again, similar to what we have seen in LMP2 last 3 or so years.
