sportscar racing has always ebbed and flowed. Most recently, in 1994, everyone was talking like we would never see a prototype again with the GT1s coming along (Mclaren, then Porsche GT1s, Toyota, Nissan) then Audi and BMW came around with an open top prototype and that was the new wave. Although come to think of it, weren't the Nissans and Toyotas and Mercedes really just covered prototypes?
Even if GT1 gets all the future short term attention from manufacturers, prototypes will always come back at some point. I think part of the reason is nobody really knows if a covered GT1 or an open LMP1 is the better, more efficient way to win LM.
