And that is exactly what everyone thought when USAC was the sanctioning body, but the Indy 500 was the premiere race in their Champ Car series....
Money talks and bull**** walks...and the sponsors ultimately would decide which side (and which teams) their sponsorship dollars would go toward....
All ACO would have to do is reciprocate by banning FIA-affiliated racers....there are sanctioning bodies all around the planet that would love to be associated with the ACO and Le Mans....
How long would Racing For Holland, Pescarolo, etc., stay with FIA (who can't even put their website together in time for a race this weekend)if that were the case????
Le Mans has the prestige and the tradition....the FIA would not win that war....
And if the FIA remained stubborn and stupid, there are plenty of GTS and GT teams from America that would love to run at Le Mans....they would still get their entries....
How many of them would stay in the FIA, knowing
