Hybrid and electric are certainly where manufacturers are going to want to be spending their development and sponsorship budgets in the short term.
But, with the hypercar class being available for interesting projects does the main GT hierarchy need to just focus on selling as many cars as possible to privateers and having an obvious pyramid from national level to the world championship?
No need to over think things. If you want to boost grid numbers for the WEC just make GTE into a super-GT3 class with a bit more power, grip, aero, etc that isn't an order of magnitude more expensive or complex for any of the hundreds of drivers, tens of teams running GT3 already.
