And if they didn't go with the new machinery it would still survive for a while as a haven for GT3 cars given the huge number of them out there. But there could be no attached world championship from what I understand.

Okay, you make good points here.
EDIT: Nevermind that!
This would still leave ELMS and Blancpain competing with each other, however. Unless gentlemen drivers in GT racing really want to compete badly for overall victories, that is. On the other hand, a series full of gentlemen drivers isn't really appealing to a racing fan, when you have pros running the same cars in other series.
