Whats the "theory" though? That a car running on no rule can be as fast as a car with the existing rule package?
Yes the car has a unconventional layout, but that was the only reason why ACO lets it run. In most cases, if I go to ACO ans say I will build a car that has half the weight, half the power, bespoke tires, active diff, unregulated aero and can run as fast as the current LMP car, they will probably tell me to take a hike....
