I only see a SLIGHT chance for Blancpain as a championship for truly private teams, in case the GT class in WEC becomes a manufacturer battlefield. But even then, you'd still have ELMS as an alternative for manufacturers.

Where would the gentlemen drivers go then if WEC is works only and ELMS offers no Le Mans invites or 24 race? Blancpain would be the only option left. And if the Blancpain drivers were interested in sprint races they would have gone to a national series already, and some of them already do both.
