In my opinion it is much wiser to separate the two series in terms of race dates. If you run them concurently on the same weekend at the same venue I believe it takes away from both. I see what you're getting at in terms of trying to save a few teams some money Saleen. But I believe that the LMES is a big enough draw that the FIA GT teams that want to run it will run it regardless. The races are in Europe, so the travel costs are not excessive. Not only that, but I believe the LMES will offer some bids to Le Mans, which is a plus. Keep the two series separate and let them both shine for the merits they each have.
