Well, Michelin already has relationships with TMG, AMR and Glickenhaus, so if the OEMs at least have their way, Michein will probably be the spec tire supplier for LMP1. And we know that the ACO have played the nationalist pride card on more than one occasion.
Goodyear (through Dunlop) did supply several teams in GTE-Am and LMP2 in the WEC until last season, when all GTE-Am teams switched back to Michelin, and most of the LMP2 field are now on Michelin. I wonder what caused that shift.
