That won't matter either as the ACO will only accept cars also running in their regional series. I don't think 50 GT3 cars suddenly line up for ELMS or whatever but even if they did the chances of getting in without automatic (won) entry are slim.

I do appreciate that there is a long history of amateur entries at Le Mans and that this suggestion thus blithely does away with something others may consider an important part of the tradition of the event.

It doesn't even have to be enforced as pro category, but simply just "GT3" where anyone with received entry can run. If rich businessman X wants to be in a category also filled up with factory cars then so be it. The ideology of "non-factory teams/drivers need class of their own" is foolish and was unheard of even in the days of GT1 and GT2
Again, I do despise GT3 (although not as much as todays GTE) however at least with this you could also go away with the sub am-class nannying
