While gentleman entries have been the backbone of the LM24 for decades; Pro/Am classes have not been. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe the first mandated Pro/Am class did not appear in the LM24 until 2011. I'm fine with rich guys that want to race at the LM24. I just don't see why they should be getting participation trophies.
Also, if they want to race in a Pro/Am class, a very strong P2 is still an option.
