The biggest reason for a drop in GTE-AM is the fact the 2016 Porsche is a HANDFUL for the pros and even the established teams are sticking with their old 911s until or if the new one is available. The 488 scared some teams it seemed and they are trying to recover, and the Dalla Lanas of the world are 2+ years from a new Aston if they stick with one year old regs. Unless that's been dropped when I wasn't looking. Don't think the WEC is really in a position to get rid of GTE-AM anytime soon, but then these are the guys who def count everything before it hatches.
