Yes/ No. LMS were testing a new design of LMP cars. The initial designs were very similar wide cockpits, with short overhangs similar to the Rolex Prototypes.

Some of the LMS prototype designs coming up are really the best since the WSC/ IMSA Group C ended.... the diesel Frenchie showed us that a few times last year in ALMS (when they showed up for Sebring for example).

Thankfully, the wide cockpit is not currently being exported into other series. They are ugly.
