Here's an interesting thought.
In 2021 all 3 LMH entrants say they'll have 2-cars each from the get go.
In 2023 just with all the 2021 players re-committing to the top class we'll likely have 10 different marques competing at Le Mans
Audi – LMDh
Porsche – LMDh
Peugeot – LMH
Toyota – LMH
Glickenhaus – LMH
ByKolles – LMH
Honda/Acura – LMDh (TBC)
GM - LMDh (TBC)
Mazda – LMDh (TBC)
Alpine – LMDh?
That could be around 25 cars even without other rumoured entrants like Ford, McLaren or Ferrari.
Do you think by 2023 ACO may decide to completely nix the Pro version of whatever GT class there will be? That would make the grid very "prototype-heavy". I'd rather facilitate the expansion of Hypercar completely at the expense of LMP2. Frankly, it'd be great if LMDh or perhaps some customer-friendly non-hybrid LMH cars completely took over the P2 marketplace. And then a Pro-Am subclass can be established within Hypercar, like ACO did for 2021 in LMP2.
