More and more drivers are switching to sportscars from GP2, GP3, WSBR and whatever other "higher lower" formulae because of economic factors and/or realizing that their careers have not met the path that ultimately gives them the desired F1 seat, that's clear and we all very well know that. The difference is that sportscars were never really the ultimate goal of these people, unlike those who made the switch earlier on, it's plan B after realizing the previously said factors. Nobody from GP2 is aiming for WEC or ELMS or wherever, the goal is Formula 1 (or in case of some of the backmarkers, just fiddling among the others because of rich daddy's cash bags). That's why whenever someone says that GP2, or even F1 in case of some journalists, is "feeder series" for WEC, it just irritates me as it's not really by choice but by turn of events.

Sadly.

But I think when these people eventually do turn to sportscars, they understand what land of opportunities it really is, how you can make your living (if you're not already wealthy/backed enough), and how the biggest prizes available such as wins at Le Mans equal those of F1 in terms of prestige.
