By the time Urd will finish the promised lmps Kunos will have their own ready :-\
I know it was only 5 euro but still I'm not a happy customer. Out of all promised LMP cars we got 3 which haven't been updated in a long time. And now they have started another project..
… and there is goes:

It would really be nice if URD would focus on getting their Toyota in a beta status out the door, fix bugs and update cars as necessary (fix audio when AC updates break it, update tire models, …), and then focus only with real work on the car models, Kunos does or cannot license (looking at the Nissan LMP H and P1 + P2 cars).
That and no more could be expected from people who have paid for the pack.
Any work beyond that cannot be realistically be asked for for such a low submission cost.
It would be a more clever business strategy to not offer packs of cars which create such a high workload but to offer single cars for purchase instead, only start selling when the car has an actual fully drivable RC status and NEVER EVER show content preview of products that is simply too far ahead to be realistically made sure to be released in time (see Toyota LMP H).
Bigger software houses than URD (like Kunos) simply have such a much higher development speed if their focus is on a certain car model and also do have a higher level of access to manufacturer data that the DLC quality will always be on a higher level.
It is bad when as a small and good quality mod maker as URD you get caught up in too much work to handle and then get over run by the big guys who ship a similar product out the door before you can satisfy customers you have accepted money from.
I am not mad at all at URD, as to my understanding I got all my money's worth with their LMP mod and the GT mod I both purchased. I understand though there are others who are not willing to understand the reality of URDs business and will insist on their value for the (very little) money they have paid.
You always have to make sure to stand by the product you sell a customer though and deliver what you offered upfront and have accepted payment for. I hope URD have not dug themselves into a hole with the PX mod :-(
It is not a good sign though they have started a Super GT mod (although again from their business perspective I can fully understand that they absolutely need the revenue such a new additional mod can generate to keep afloat and be able to keep up work).
Nevertheless I absolutely hope URD is successful businesses and can keep delivering the excellent content they have so far.
The sim racing community absolutely needs businesses like URD to receive content big houses cannot or will not touch.
