Today, Michael sits down with Editor of Dailysportscar.com, Graham Goodwin, to discuss and contextualise the LMP2 class amongst the modern sportscar landscape. We dive into the history, from the beginnings in LMP675, into the manufacturer dominated era of the late 2000's, before the change to Production engines, and finally, the current LMP2-17 era.

Big thanks to Graham Goodwin for joining us! And thanks as well to TheRacingLine.App for their support in 2021
