That would put an end to all those teams that will "definitely do the full season", only to skip Fuji and Bahrain after they've been to Le Mans.


No Fuji = No Le Mans.
I'm not sure the ACO are willing to call those team's bluffs ... yet.

There would also be sea freight issues. We know that the series goes "the wrong way" for Fuji -> Bahrain (and we know the ACO is paid handsomely for it), but criss-crossing Eurasia or crossing the Pacific will be major headaches to organise, especially in the shorter time frame from Sebring to Le Mans.
