God no, let's all just stop dividing classes into meaningless subdivisions already. LMP2-PRO, LMP2-AM, and soon we have LMPC-ELITE on top of LMPC-ULTRA and LMPC-LIGHT. I've said this numerous times already but there is one thing that Grand-Am, as well CTSCC does extremely well, and that is: keeping it simple. They had 80 cars divided to two classes in Continental Tire series at the start of the season yet they didn't feel the need to give handicap award to every single person on the grid.
Renewal of P1 in ALMS won't likely be much bigger hit that it is now but at least it is a proper class. Grandfathering the current models for 2014 regs is something that I always expected to happen, and same probably applies for WEC then the ACO realizes that they only have 6-8 factory cars built to regulations and everybody else threatens to leave. We already heard some comments from P1 privateers on this subject during the RLM Thursday pitwalk @ Le Mans.
edit: this really belongs to the 2013 thread... or 2014
