Especially when in the same interview he mentions how important it is for their teams to be able to go over and just do Le Mans.
IMSA, trying to have its cake and eat it? I have never heard of such a thing before!

To be fair, the business model make the most sense (money) with full season entrants, but I wouldn't be surprised if this attitude to entrants wasn't at least partly driven by a desire to try and make WC an equivalent series to WEC in the eyes of fans and factories.
