Is the LM 24 The True World Championship?

[old man]

It struck me while watching this years race that there are as many, if not more cars now in the field by dint of qualification to be there as simply direct entrants. Such cars are there "by right" having won or finished second in one of the recognised series and so demonstrated their ability.

Granted, there are still a lot that are selected by the ACO for whatever reason and I suppose French Logic will always apply but if you win the class in ALMS, for example, and then come to France and win the class again against the winners of the LMS and FIA series I think you can justifiably claim to the best in the world in that class.

Should the FIA move to make the LM24 the World Final in Sports and GT racing?

What about the teams that bring inferior driver line-ups to LM when compared to the drivers that earned them the entry, presumably for financial reasons, should that be allowed?
