2010 Le Mans Intercontinental Cup

The point Fogelhund is making, and several of us have made repeatedly, is that we aren't concerning ourselves with 'betrayal' or North American provincialism. These comments concern the business sense of decisions being made which affect the global Le Mans racing brand. As far as we can tell (and Fogelhund has done an excellent job outlining why), these decisions are nonsensical in many respects and smack of foolish impulsiveness at times.

Given the willingness with which many posters usually criticize the ACO I am puzzled why so many vigorously defend the LMIC when it seems that only one of the 4 manufacturers racing in P1 last year will contest it. If the plan had been made with appropriate dialogue with the participants (and thus potential stakeholders), this should not be the case.
