GTLM = GTE, except for the cars that aren't.
GTD = GT3, except for the cars that aren't.

And that's fine. It doesn't need to be an exact copy. But the BMW will most likely never see Le Mans, yet it's in a GT Le Mans class. So what's the problem with a LMP-A? That the cars won't race at Le Mans? Well they're more Le Mans based than the BMW GTLM Car.

Of course it's just all a name, so really not important and in this case, completely opinion. I just don't like the idea of renaming the entire thing from a Le Mans Prototype to a Daytona Prototype, when the core is still a Le Mans Prototype. Credit when it's due, etc.
