That sounds good.... the ACO are the only ones I trust to not run this into the ground... same can't be said about Mr Ratel or the FIA.

As far as I can tell, yes, things are similar to the ILMC. There are some potential differences that have not been fully explained yet. First, there will be a WEC drivers championship in addition to the constructors title, but nothing has been mentioned about a team championship. Also, there is the matter of what exactly is the FIA GT Endurance World Cup (not to be confused with the "Ratel" series). Is it the GTE version of the WEC? Or is it something slightly different. The press release only said it was a constructors title.
I'm taking the approach that we don't really know much about this new championship yet, but it could very much be the ILMC with a new name. It could turn out quite different. We'll see.
