I would like to suggest a partnership between Le Mans Ultimate and Peter Auto.
Peter Auto is an organization for classic car racing, rallyes and events. One of their biggest events is Le Mans Classic. This could be a great opportunity to introduce various historic classes to the game, increasing variety whilst staying true to Le Mans!

Peter Auto Cars:
Peter Auto organises races in different grids. Within most grids, there will be multiple classes (according to ruleset of the cars), allowing for multiclass racing whilst staying true to the period of each grid.
Preferably, some of the added cars will be available for free, so everyone will be able to join the events (unlike LMP3).

Peter Auto Circuits:
Their events reach plenty of circuits, many of which are already available in the game. Along with adding the cars, circuits from their calendar currently missing from the game like Dijon-Prenois, Estoril and Daytona can get added too.

Good idea, but we'd have to drive them as Priceless antiques and that just won't suit the style of most of our brave band of LMU pilots!
 
If these classic cars would run under the same detailed level in LMU where e.g. the Hypers run their virtual energy... they would need manual/sequential shifting, rev matching etc. These cars are very difficult and very different to drive. Simmers are used to loads of aero, so without that and needing to balance the wheels yourself on the road is just a different game.

When gamers start running a 1969 Ford GT40 with a Logitech G20'something with flipper-de-flip-flippers, auto clutch/blip...... I'm out beforehand. It's all fun and games until you actually need to simulate these cars. Offline? Sure nothing wrong that of course. Online? LOL get outta here 😂. And what about the already poor choice of S397 to let controller and keyboard users play? Good plan, let's top that with classic manuals... it will be so much fun haha

The plan is good, but in order to execute it well, gamers would need to adapt too much and many of them simply can't (skills, hardware, time to practice T1 Monza). I think that a succesful classic dlc keeping the competitive racing spirit of LMU high, would be like from the 2000's, maybe max. late 90's.

..Visited the LM Classic a couple of years back. Awesome event, recommend 10/10.
