When you think about it, it's not really bad to see GT500 going for a spec format.
Since the engines will be 3.4 litre V8s, they fit the regulations for Le Mans 2011. The Honda, Nissan and Toyota chassis are almost prototypes anyway, so they can simply make LMPs out of them, leaving the weird cars in the GT300 class.
And then we have a readymade JLMS, with the big manufacturers fielding prototypes and a quirky Japan-only GT class.
