So I guess what they want is, by the the end of the decade, in terms of performance gaps at LM
LMP1 Works
LMP1 Priva
LMGT1/E(/-PRO)/Premium
LMP2
LMGT2/E(/-AM)/Whatever-filler-proam-they-come-up-with
Probably P2 will get even further dumbed down with something cringeworthy so I placed it below the top GT, they'll have to make decision on which is nearer the top anyway, both won't do it
Elsewhere slot LMP3 above secondary GT, and GT3 performance balanced to be at the bottom

They've already made the decision and it was explained in the 2017 LMP2 announcement presentation, the 2017-spec LMP2 cars will get a 120+bhp bump in horsepower compared to nowadays (target is around 600bhp, with chassis that would also comply with LMP1 regs) in order to remain clearly between LMP1 and GT.
