It's all a matter of priorities. Le Mans is just far more important than all the other ILMC rounds combined...it's the only sports car race that gets major international attention and the only one with real marketing value for the manufacturers.
Maybe one day when the ILMC has become a proper world championship, winning the overal title will become equally prestigeous... right now it is not.. Le Mans is the main objective and both manufactuers will sacrifice the championship to have an advantage there.
