Are you aware that setting up a car to reduce drag (to lose less time in S2) will leave you with less downforce for S3?
Disagree that regulations are effecting all manufacturers for not going into LMP1. Toyota have other issues, Ferrari are in F1, Honda have an LMP1 already etc.

I am aware of the idea of reducing downforce to increase straight line speed but by that rational the petrol straight line speeds would be faster than they were (such as Dome), or their aero could be producing too much drag!

All I am saying is that it is not all engine regulations that are causing a time and speed difference in LMP1 or stopping manufacturers being part of LMP1.
