Will these LMP3 cars be eligible to race at Le Mans ? or only ELMS and Asian LMS?

According to what I have read, AsLMS and ELMS only--and probably TUSC eventually. LMPCs are not currently allowed in the Le Mans 24--too many entries in the bigger classes, so I see no reason why the new LMP3s would be allowed.

I find the part about no carbon to be used on the bodywork quite interesting.
Also the hybrid carbon-monocoque plus tubeframe construction. I guess that could make it possible to turn current open-topped designs into coupes without having to design a completely new tub. Also, didn't Scot Elkins mention that IMSA might be looking into a hybrid construction like that for their next prototype rules? |

Well, if the P3 can adapt a V6 or V8 installing a current-gen DP engine might be possible... and suddenly you have a very fast car.

I would think CN's are glass fiber bodywork. They could also use sheet metal

Doesn't really matter as pre preg fibreglass is pretty much as good as carbon bodywork when made well from the right moulds etc. Wet lay stuff is pants though and definitely shouldn't be the standard.
