Whatever the rationale and shenanigans, the effect is an ELMS field with:
A two-make race in LMP2 (one lone Dallara in a sea of Oreca and Ligier the exception to prove the rule)
A two-make race in LMP3
A two-make race in GTE
With spec engines in LMP2 and LMP3 cars in each class sound identical and frankly it takes an expert eye to tell them apart visually.
A 41-entry field cannot cover up that this is a poor show. I am more and more coming to the view that diversity > numbers. A 16-car field with 8 manufacturers in the Laguna Seca 8 Hours (for example) is much preferable to ELMS's stream of identikit cars.
