Bring back customer cars just like the Porsche 956/962s and that will boost the LMP1 grid and competition.

Current LMP1s are just too complicated/expensive for privateers so that's easier said than done.

No way could privateers properly run LMP1s - Rebellion are a top level pro team with top drivers and still can't achieve anything at all other than a pointless waste of money. Most would just end up being like the pathetic Bykolles effort just run by the likes of Tracy Krohn. Would be suckfest. I dont like this new P2 but I guarantee it wont lead to expanded LMP1 participation - it'll all bleed down to LMP3.

The decision of the FIA/ ACO on restricting the number of chassis manufacturers in LMP2 from 2017 has had a first positive effect it seems as Strakka Racing announce this morning that they will develop a new LMP1 car for the team to run in the Privateers’ category of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship.

The team will also switch with immediate effect to an ex Greaves Motorsport Gibson 015S LMP2 chassis for the remainder of the 2015 FIA WEC to allow their Dome S103 chassis to be converted as the test and development ‘muletta’ for the LMP1 project.

The new LMP1 car, the first to be designed in-house by the British team, will be built at its recently expanded facilities at Silverstone, to compete in the growing LMP1 Privateers’ category of the championship.

Gibson likely to do a lmp1.5 now. I can also see a large field of dallaras in the future, they'll produce the best product with their resources. Would have preferred smp over them.

I mean something more appealing for potential contenders, like a proper separate class with a separate podium and a dedicated trophy like the Independent trophy in WTCC.
