Exactly. It's the manufacturers who pushed for the ILMC. The ACO agreed to accept their request to go to Asia. Audi didn't want to run a North American works prototype programme, therefore they didn't run one. There's nothing IMSA could have done to prevent it. Now they have 30+ cars, so their goal must be to keep them and get more. If they can attract major European and Asian teams to one to three special races, even better.
