The point is, it's extremely easy to get into indurance racing. You either build cheap car based on one of four spec chassis with spec hybrid, or if you really want to win, you have good engineers and facilities, you spend more money and build LMH.. But it's easy and it's cheap, just look how many privateers start in WEC and IMSA. There are even privateers that build their own cars.
A LMDh is much cheaper than a Hypercar, but it's still quite expensive.
A 963 costs 2.5 million euros, and a season costs 10 million euros.

Where do you set the limit?
Do you allow a new engine and a new gearbox on every day of every event?
Using your figures that would be €1.5 million in engines and gearboxes every event!
The WRC has some stupid rules.
The manufacturers spent 60 miilions a year or more to win titles, and then they limite engines to only two?
A third one would blow the budgets? Seriously?
...
Aren't engines linked with certain chassis numbers?
