The requirements are very easy to meet, think outside the box.

I found the GT2 engine to be fairly easy to build. I did the ''24 Hour Endurance'' challenge, which is called ''Brutal''. Wrote down the stats and which parts I used for that and tuned it to meet the GT2 requirements

Yes, Prototype is a more open class

The 30% efficiency bit was arbitrary, admittedly, but it's absolutely do-able. I reality-checked the rules-set with both a 6.1L pushrod V8 and a 2.4L turbo I4. And besides, if it wasn't a bit difficult it wouldn't be much of a "challenge". :P

None of the categories was ever intended to be an exact copy of any particular class but, in real life, Le Mans racers are extreme lean-burn eco-mobiles.

GT2 engine done. "There's no replacement for displacement", indeed.
