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.

And the Am champs in ELMS get an auto invite for LM. Very valuable at the moment. And JMW have two auto invites, for winning the title and their class at LM.

Well, unless Henrik Hedman can convince the FIA that he is not a danger to shipping and get himself upgraded to Silver, he will be back in P2.

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.

While gentleman entries have been the backbone of the LM24 for decades; Pro/Am classes have not been. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe the first mandated Pro/Am class did not appear in the LM24 until 2011. I'm fine with rich guys that want to race at the LM24. I just don't see why they should be getting participation trophies.

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

The reason for it was to encourage wealthy am drivers to bring money to the series so teams could run. If you get rid of the Am class, you'll lose a lot of money, and therefore teams. There's good reason LMP racing came out of the back of the financial collapse better than what it could have been. That's why we see Indy struggling to fill a 33 car grid, and F1 struggling to get new teams in.

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.

This is a good point. PC was phased out in IMSA and 5 of the 7 teams stepped up to the P class and the series is much better because of it.
