Why give points & official classifications to regional series oneoffs / partial season entries then... exactly, to gain bigger grids

And by such logic of yours, why give points to oneoff / partial season drivers in WEC, but not to teams? If it's such elite grand world championship, shouldn't same rules apply to machine and man?

Even in US to be eglible for the LM-auto-entry-championship thingie, I think the drivers are required to do the full series. I think.

In any case, the biggest problem arises with the previously mentioned embarrasments of European/other cars wiping the floors with the world championship entries, as especially seen at Le Mans 2014, yet when you look at the official results years later you see that apparently it was some 11th or 13th placed car in class that was scored as "WEC winner" and top points scorer, passing the other cars...

ELMS does it right

Maybe Sebring 2012 could have fared better too and survived to 2013 if the parties had not demanded stupid separate classifications for all shared classes (WEC LMP1, ALMS P1, WEC LMGTE-PRO, WEC LMGTE-AM, ALMS GT etc) but instead just had everything in same pack like in ILMC 2010-2011. It was one of the primary complaints of the events, that confusing classifications made it too messy and unattractive
