Whether it was intended or not, it strikes me as a sensible move- Use the LMS and Le Mans this year to get a direct comparison of how the Ratel GT1 cars stack up against ACO GT2s before deciding what to do about them. Now it seems they've decided they don't want anything to do with 'new GT1', but maybe are leaving open a door to try and entice Nissan in particular over to ACO GT2.
That's quite a result for the ACO if they can pull it off- Japanese factory interest at LM in 2011, and the ACO get to tell the world that they've got the top-dog GT class, and not Ratel...
