The key Question is: are there other opportunities around to race these cars in North America?. Just this would create a market for older cars and encourage new entrants (or existing entrants to bring on new cars)
In Europe we have
GT2: FIA-GT2, GT-Open, some national series (most of them switched to GT3 now, which is a basis from which constantly teams are flocking in to GT2)
GT1: FIA-GT1, frensh GT-series (until last year - future uncertain)
LMP: no alternative , but there is a large CN/LMP3-scene existing as basis.
Any possibility to race your GT2-car in North America? I don´t know one.
Any competing series may be considered as opposition by the IMSA, but would in fact strenghten the market for the cars. But all competing series (Grand-Am, etc.) go for another set of rules.
This is the deeper reason to introduce a GT-Challenge class - here is at least a basis existing.
