Just as warning to those who are saying they think the WEC should be LMP1 only. Say you have 4 works teams - Porsche, Audi, Toyota, Honda for arguments sake - each with 3 cars,and you have 8 or so privateers. That leaves you with a grid of 20 cars or so, which you could just about get away with. Then, the manufacturers who are always filling the places 7th - 12th start to think 'why are we parading around the world with expensive cars to achieve nothing?', and pull out, a la Toyota, Honda and BMW in F1. Then you are left with a grid of 10 or so cars, you have an embarassing race, contracts are cancelled and the series is stopped.
