The fact that you can even run same full blown factory cars in that "Amateur category" just makes further mockery out of it. Especially in world championship and world's biggest motor race.
Anyway, pleasing every party is indeed the buzz word of today. Next to sub classes you also have these mandatory pro-am class restrictions that didn't exist anywhere in ACO land five years ago.

Well I suppose there is 2 sides to every argument .Not sure on the Artificially trying to please everybody . Does the LMGTE-Am class not allow the Yutes to move up the motorsports Ladder ? After they have proven themselves in lesser classes ?
There is another argument to be made for Gentleman Drivers though " You Want To Play You Got To Pay " comes to mind . Field Fillers or extra Revenue for the Promoters and Team Owners
