I couldn't agree more! That would really make the fundamental character of a sportscar obvious, also from a historical point of view.
I think it's really unfortunate that current LMP's derive their "LMP-ness" basically from the bodywork rules (which can seem very random and pointless if you don't know the history of sportscars), rather than from a functional difference to single-seaters.
