Bang On! For any doubters see Le Mans 1997 when Porsche showed up with an evolution of the 911-GT1 while all the customers had last year's car.

Sometimes, I think that IMSA's talking to a wall with the ACO, who seem to forget that rules developed for a single 24 hour race don't always work for a multi-race sprint race series, and maybe the issues with the LMS might be convincing them of that fact.
I agree, but that's why the ALMS went their own direction with combining the classes, myself, Purist, CMK and TWK all agree it should have been done 2 years previously.
