Absolutely not! What i'm saying is:

1. North Americans want to see the best pilots and teams in ALMS
2. Europeans want to see, also, the best pilots and teams in the LMS
3. If this is all about 'saving our (series) ass' in this economical down turn... than may the best win! The alternative is joining forces in a global series: LMIC is the way to have the best pilots and the best team in both series.

Missing what point? That without works entries and big professional pilots ALMS will fall down? That we, Europeans (LMS), have to contempt with the lesser good pilots and the privateers? The best for ALMS and the rest for LMS?

Missing the point? The point is that ALMS has to change with or without LMIC. A series based only on manufactures and professionals pilots canot sustain herself forever. Even the big, fat and lasy F1 sorted that out this last two years with Honda, Toyota and BMW (Renault is just a name for 2010) pulling the plug.

Things over there already had the warning light blipping before even anything resemble to LMIC start to be talked. Maybe ACO rules are the problem... maybe they don't adjust to the way of the things over there... maybe the best in reality is for IMSA go a totally independent way to 'save' north american sportscar scene... well, IMSA sportscar scene
