well, considering that the last chance for this was '99, when the Toyota GT-One was leading going into the last hour only to have the left rear tire go away, handing the win to BMW. It was the "swan song" for this class, even with the Bentley GTP that arrived some three years later.
It was the morphing under the rules structure that caused the events of '97-'00, ultimately bringing about the demise of GT-1. Sportscars that were previously under that classification were spared the downfall by being moved up and later being redesignated as GTS, one of the smarter moves done by all parties to be sure.
