I like this idea. Right now there is very little incentive to run these cars (particularly GTC) in an ACO-style championship so a Le Mans support race would give them a little credibility.

For GTC it probably works in the USA because there aren't hundreds of different places to run a Porsche GT3 Cup car, but in Europe it needs something to make it stand out a little because there are so many competing GT championships. Plus for me FLM doesn't make a lot of sense when you have the cheaper Speed series as your support race, but combine the two somehow and perhaps it'll work, particularly with the increase in CN car builders who might be looking for a future at Le Mans. Again, perhaps an LM support race would add incentive.
