'When the constructors weren't here, the championship was happy to have so many LMP2 cars.' 💬
The future of LMP2 cars in the WEC appears to be in doubt, with it being speculated that they will not be allowed to enter any race other than the Le Mans 24 Hours from 2024.
The Frenchman pointed to the role LMP2 played during what was a lean patch for WEC in the last few years, and wonders what will happen if manufacturers depart the Hypercar class and leave empty slots on the grid again. “As long as you have private teams and as long as you have amateurs, I'm happy whatever the categories they put in,” he said.
Naturally a big fan of the category, Jarvis highlighted that the run-of-the-mill LMP2 cars are so quick that they had to be slowed down artificially to ensure they do not mix with much more expensive LMDh and LMH cars.
