For US teams an ILMC entry is a major upheaval given the size of the ALMS calendar and quite possibly not feasible unless they branch out. Euro teams competed for 10-15 years in the WSC so the ILMC is a logical extension/replacement for a compact LMS program.
It willl be more costly but the major Euro races, plus Sebring, PLM, Fuji and Zhuhai is an attractive package.
Peter was already talking of banning factory entries from the LMS and going back to the seies privateer routes.
