This is just a stupid decision.
Reason?ACO wants a unique class so it theoretically can exercise a big amount of control and just so they can say it is unique to WEC.
Makes zero sense.Can you imagine a Pro GT3 class at Le Mans and how fantastic that would be.If you look at the 2017 GT Pro race it was in my opinion the best GT race of all time anywhere.From memory after about 14 hours all cars but one were within around 3 minutes of the lead and of course there was that blockbuster finish.
If the ACO thinks manufacturers will make a special WEC kit particularly if the class is only Am they are deluded.
They cannot force manufacturers with no interest in prototype racing to invest in that simply by not having a Pro class.
Would be interested to know the viewpoint of GT3 promoters like Ratel.
