Sure, since 2008, many LMP1 teams have left. But on the other hand, 9 LMP1 on track at Silverstone will be the highest number of LMP1 cars competing in a race since Le Mans 2011. And those numbers are likely to grow in 2015. I think the class is slowly recovering.
Some poeple, including me, were a bit over-optimistic when all those new projects were announced, but 9 full-season entries are already a huge improvement over the just 4 LMP1 cars at Sao Paulo last year.
With Nissan likely joining next year, the only thing LMP1 lacks are 1-2 additional privateers, in my opinion.
