If you're the ACO I get you want to reward existing participants, but surely you also want to get new manufacturers through the door. It helps increase the activation across the series and ultimately there's more PR value in having Porsche + Mercedes vs just Porsches.
So with that said I think it will be a mixture and some people will be left disappointed. What's also interesting is that in theory, if hypercar continues to grow as projected, the pool of GT3s will actually diminish. So teams don't have that multi-year certainty, and certainly no opportunity to expand. To that end I think the ACO will eventually be forced to try and get the WEC grid up to 40. |
