But is there relevance? What would any of these manufacturers gain by running a car in North America, and would it be enough to boost numbers to an acceptable level (aka above 5)? Audi wasn't happy with ROI in North American sportscar racing and they're about as committed as any manufacturer to P1.
If anything P1 has more of a chance making some kind of a showing in the AsLMS as it's a new market and has local manufacturers involved. OAK has completely pulled out of the North American market and is moving it's focus to Europe and Asia.
