If you consider this GT ruleset will take us from 2015-'20, I see it as inconceivable there wouldn't be provision for hybrids, they'll be standard fit in many supercars. Cost savings can come by retaining more road parts, restricting exotic materials, electronics etc.
I wouldn't be averse to having a GT1 class for manufacturers and hybrids, GT2 for standard cars, that makes more sense to me than dividing cars based on driving talent.
