It proves you can go as fast as an LMP2 car using half the fuel economy, half the drag and going much easier on the rubber. It could prove much more but the ACO still wants this race to be about LMP1.
It's pretty obvious you dislike the car, but why? It's not taking anyone's grid slot, it's an extra entry. If it proves as little as you make it out to then you probably won't ever see it again, and it won't be a worry any longer.
