Whether or not you like the class or not doesn't actually matter, especially since you can't enter a Pro car in ELMS. So the best you can do is enter an Am car, and the Am LM winner was from ELMS, now WEC.
Just FYI: Le Mans 2017 had more Am entries than Pro. So harsh, and completely untrue. |

You do not see Amateur classes in the Indy 500, Daytona 500, and Monaco Grand Prix. If you want to compete at the biggest motor race in the world, you should be prepared to go up against the best teams in the world.

Sorry man, gotta disagree with you. Privateer and gentleman entries have been the backbone of Le Mans for decades. It's part of what makes the event unique.

Also, if they want to race in a Pro/Am class, a very strong P2 is still an option. |

And yeah, P2 is great. Not all drivers have the ability to run that. If you want to exclude people based on that, then that's fine and completely understandable. But with that comes a lower car count. Indy 500 only needs 33 drivers and a maximum of 33 teams. F1 only needs 20 drivers and 10 teams. Le Mans needs around 40-50 teams and 200+ drivers. You need allowances for this. You could say "race with the pros", but if you're also expecting someone to race with the pros and spend a couple of million a year, you'll get less interest. |

ELMS being a Pro/Am series is good, since it's not top level anyways. As far as Le Mans goes I'm not convinced removing GTE Am would have any meaningful affect on car counts, in the same way I've argued for a long time that P2 and PC have been cannibalizing privateer P1 and IMSA P, which seems to have been proven pretty true this season. But there's some complications in regards to Le Mans entries and generating ELMS car counts.
