Re: 24h Le Means 2017
tso:I am afraid it is too late to save the LMP1 class. Truth is that I would love to have seen it develop, but the moment Audi pulled out, and was not replaced by Peugeot or someone else, the class seemed doomed.
Two factory teams is in my view 2 too little, and the cost have run crazy as well, so who should jump on this one ? The fact that Toyota have tried for so long without winning, I would imagine makes the field of candidates burning billions of $$$ close to non existing.
One thing which could have saved the class or at least extended it's life, would have been a Toyota victory in 2016 or 2017, but that is al history by now.
Not a very postive situation, but while this is happening, I will enjoy a good LMP2 and GTE pro field
Having two manufacturers competing does not necessarily spell doom. Look at the Audi vs Peugeot battles.
P2 holds no interest for me.
GT has little or no interest for me as its now completely BoP dependent. It's like watching WWW. I never liked it.
